Enjoy your experience! ----- If you want to see the Great Ocean Road but only have one day to spare, this is the tour for you. Your adventure starts early to avoid the traffic and beat the crowds. Travelling from Melbourne, you'll take the inland route to journey through Colac and dairy-farm country before turning toward the coast and joining the Great Ocean Road at Port Campbell. Once on this iconic road, the first stop is the famous London Bridge, followed by The Arch. Both are archways naturally formed by the erosion of the sea. London Bridge used to extend out to the arch before a massive collapse in 1990, leaving behind an island (and at the time two tourists, who had to be rescued by helicopter). Continuing east along the road, the next highlights are Loch Ard Gorge, Razorback, and Island Archway. These impressive rock formations are a marvel to see and are interspersed with beautiful beaches and scenic views. Finally, it's time for one of the most iconic sights on the Great Ocean Road the 12 Apostles. Marvel at the rugged splendour of these limestone stacks rising majestically from the Southern Ocean as they battle the unforgiving waves. The view from the lookout is spectacular. You'll also have the option to add on a scenic helicopter flight here, too, weather and availability permitting (own expense).
