The Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road is a journey to one of Australia finest coastal drive in Victoria. It is home to the Twelve Apostles rock formation. Over the years due to weather and powering tides, several rocks formation have collapsed and a few of them are left standing.

The 243 km journey which starts from Melbourne City and ends in Warrnambool city offers a traveler a unique drive experience passing through Geelong City, stopping for a breathtaking view at Torquay coastal landscape but do expect some bumps and windy roads ahead into the mountain ranges. Along the coastal drive, there are several cities that you should pay a visit such as Geelong City, Anglesea, surf city -Torquay, Apollo Bay and Port Campbell.

Torquay city popular beach front.

The Moby Cafe, a beach house turned into a cozy restaurant, which I stopped by for a rest and have a decent Breakfast Panini and a cup of cuppacino.
