1. Port Campbell National Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,067 reviews
The wild Southern Ocean has carved the Port Campbell National Park coastline into formations that are famous the world over - and earned it the nickname of the Shipwreck Coast. Drive the Great Ocean Road and see London Bridge, The Grotto, Loch Ard Gorge and the unmissable Twelve Apostles. The best way to see Port Campbell National Park is to take the Great Ocean Road. This is one of the world's most celebrated scenic drives – and its undoubted highlight is the Twelve Apostles, which tower 45 metres above the Southern Ocean. On a coastline renowned for its spectacular coastal formations it’s easy to overlook London Bridge and The Grotto, which are both as awesome in their own way as the more famous Twelve Apostles.

This a fairly-weather dependent attraction - in bad weather it will be hard to see effectively, though it may well be less crowded out of season. The scenery is spectacular all along the coast, and there are lots of places to stop and take a look. Taking a look often involves climbing up and down flights of steps from the clifftops to sea level, so bear in mind if you are unfit or have small children. It is best to be there morning or evening, it seems to me, as there are lots of day trip buses from Melbourne in the middle of the day, so staying overnight in the area is probably a good idea. Well worth a visit if you are in the Melbourne area.

Large site, with 3-4 walking trails to various lookout points all easily accessible from the parking lot We found the this section of the drive, near Port Campbell, to be the best part of the drive. Part of the shipwreck tour sections of the drive.
3. Twelve Apostles
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,218 reviews
Experience the awesome natural beauty of the world-famous Twelve Apostles. Rising abruptly from the tempestuous Southern Ocean, these seven limestone stacks are the highlight of the Great Ocean Road. They are best viewed at sunset when the yellow rock turns red, orange and every shade in between.

Great views and photo opportunities. Busy place, big parking lot, many tourists visiting (and we were there on a quiet day with foul weather). So fight your way towards the edge of the viewing platforms, stand your ground between all the selfie sticks and photograph one of Australia's great coastal views. After all, they may not be there much longer.

The picture speaks for itself, it’s one of many must see attractions along the Great Ocean Riad. It’s an easy short walk from the car park to the viewing platforms....
5. Apostle Whey Cheese
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 283 reviews
Dairy farmers Julian and Dianne Benson launched Apostle Whey Cheese on October 29, 2005. Since that day, Apostle Whey Cheese has taken out a number of major cheese awards and become an important tourism drawcard for the region. Just a short drive from the Twelve Apostles and the Great Ocean Road, Apostle Whey Cheese is a genuine paddock to plate operation.

For a $1 a person you could taste 12 different types of cheese all made by Apostle whey. Not fancy in their approach but great cheese! They know and produce lots cheese rather than simply sell cheese made by various farms in Vic and SA. Not only that but our visit also coincided with the late afternoon milking of the cows which was a wonderful experience for our toddler to see in the shed next door. All 4 of our children enjoyed making their own flavoured milk with the Apostle Whey milk they sold there as well. All in all it was one of our favourite stops on the 12 Apostles Gourmet trail. Not fancy but very real with friendly people. A very family friendly place!!!!

A quick detour that sometimes gets overlooked. Very easy walk from carpark and a good view of the arch

The Gibson steps have a gate approximately 100 metre down the stair case which was locked on our visit and as it is only safe to assess the beach at low tide and in good weather I can only assume this was down for safety reasons. However you can still get a good view despite the gate closure
8. The Grotto

Reviewed By PhilMalone - Footscray, Australia
This attraction is definitely one you don't want to miss out of the all the attractions on the Great Ocean Road. If you are short on time make sure you include this one. It is a short walk from the carpark down stairs and offers a few different vantage points to get some good photos. The reflection in the Grotto's waters with the wild sea in the background makes for an excellent photo.

Close to 12 Apostles and one of the most attractive rock islands of the Great Ocean Road! Must see attraction.
