The Great Ocean Road, Australia.

"The Great Ocean Road is one of the most spectacular coastal drives in Australia and is home to my favourite property, The Cape Otway Conservation centre which is a great place to view native Australian wildlife in their natural habitats."

Michael Codd, Australia Specialist

The main stretch of the Great Ocean Road runs for 300 kilometres from Torquay in the east, to Nelson in the west and is home to the world-famous 12 Apostles and the Great Otway rainforest.

With stunning coastlines, national parks and quaint fishing villages it is no wonder the Great Ocean Road is considered the top tourist experience in Victoria, Australia, providing visitors with everything they need for a memorable trip from fabulous restaurants and great wines, to an abundance of wildlife and a relaxed pace of life.
