Take a break at Memorial Arch, the gateway to the Great Ocean Road. The arch was built in honour of the 3,000 returned soldiers who worked on the road and its creation during World War I. Stretch our legs at Apollo Bay, an iconic seaside resort town to have a relaxing lunch(at own expense) before we proceed to the Port Campbell National Parks. 

Get snap-happy at the famous Twelve Apostles—magnificent limestone stacks that rise up majestically on Victoria's dramatic coastline. As you walk along the boardwalk, have your camera ready and admire the breath-taking shoreline from the cliff top. Be dwarfed by the 70-metre high vertical cliffs and marvel at Gog and Magog, the nicknames given to the giant limestone stacks rising up out of the sea. Weather permitting, make your way down to the beach via the 86 steps that were carved into the face of the cliff by local settler Hugh Gibson, who worked on the route originally used by the Kirrae Whurrong people. 

We make our way to the Loch Ard Gorge enjoying this spectacular coastline, the rugged cliffs along the Great Ocean Road once made for perilous navigation for vessels sailing into the port of Melbourne. Walk along the pristine sands, stopping for a moment to appreciate the sun reflecting off the water and perhaps snap a picture. After an amazing journey, relax on your return to Melbourne.
