But one that could possibly rival them all is the Great Ocean Road Tour.<\/p>\n<p>Stretching 151 miles between Victoria and South Australia, this drive resembles the Pacific Coast Highway in California and is filled with ever-changing views as you continue on your way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As you start your journey, here are 7 tips to help you travel the Great Ocean Road<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>1. Be prepared to spend the whole day, if not more, driving.<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4195\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-7.jpeg\" alt=\"Kookaburra\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-7.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-7-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-7-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-7-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-7-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><br \/>\nMany travellers book tour groups round-trip from Melbourne and end at the 12 Apostles. The entire length is approximately 150 miles and takes around 10 hours round trip. If you are hiring a car, take a few days to stop along all the different towns and sites to get the full effect of the trip.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Bring motion sickness medicine.<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4156\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-4.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-4-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-4-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-4-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-4-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><br \/>\nIf you easily get carsick like me, you will want to be prepared to have motion sickness pills on hand. Ginger will also help ease your stomach, thankfully several of the places you stop at will have Bundaberg ginger beer.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Keep your eyes out for all the ever-changing biodiversity.<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-6.jpeg\" alt=\"great ocean road\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-6.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-6-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-6-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-6-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-6-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><br \/>\nThis is one road trip where you want to be alert at all times. Wild koalas and kookaburras hanging out in trees and kangaroo encounters will be common. It is such a great way to see the biodiversity of Australia.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Start your trip early in the morning with a cuppa on Torquay Beach.<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4153\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-1.jpeg\" alt=\"great ocean road\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-1.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-1-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-1-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><br \/>\nThis is considered the official start to the Great Ocean Road. Torquay beach is famous for surfing and is home to surf brand Rip Curl. Nearby Bells Beach was the setting for the final parts of the 90\u2019s movie \u201cPoint Break\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>5. If you go in the winter, it will be cold.<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4157\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-5.jpeg\" alt=\"great ocean road australia\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-5.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-5-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-5-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-5-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-5-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><br \/>\nThere is nothing separating the Great Ocean Road from Antarctica, and if it\u2019s windy, you will feel that artic breeze. It never hurts to have a few layers to keep you comfortable.<\/p>\n<h2>6. The 12 Apostles will be crowded.<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4154\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-2.jpeg\" alt=\"12 apostles australia\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-2.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-2-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-2-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-2-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-2-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><br \/>\nArguably one of the highlights of the road trip, the 12 Apostles draw in crowds from all over the world. It will be hard to get the perfect picture. But, with a little bit of patience, crowds will die down for you to grab your iconic shot. As a note: due to erosion of the limestone, there are currently eight from the original nine still standing.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Try the Vegemite ice cream at Dooley&#8217;s Premium Ice Cream in Apollo Bay.<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4196\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-8.jpeg\" alt=\"vegemite icecream\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-8.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-8-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-8-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-8-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.journohq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/great-ocean-8-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><br \/>\nMost group tours will stop for lunch in Apollo Bay. There are tons of places to grab a quick bite, but be sure to check out Dooley\u2019s for ice cream, namely the Vegemite ice cream. You will be pleasantly surprised<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When one thinks about famous Australian landmarks, the first couple of things would be the Sydney Opera House, the Great Barrier Reef, and of course, the Outback.
