More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light cuts across the ocean like a scanning hand as your private vehicle slips off the highway and onto the coastal ribbon of the Great Ocean Road. You arrive later than most tours; the road feels less crowded, the cliffs more candid, and the surf seems to push stories toward the shoreline. Over the day you pause at sheltered lookouts, step down to quiet beaches and walk short rainforest trails where the air changes from salt to damp eucalyptus.
