Great Ocean Road, Victoria

The Great Ocean Road is a 273 km stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia between the Victo ia cities of Torquay and Warrnambool. The Great Ocean Road was built by 3000 returned servicemen (or "Diggers") as a war memorial for fellow servicemen who had been killed in the First World War. It is one of Australia's great scenic coastline drives.

How to get there:
By Car~~ Take Princes Highway from Melbourne to Geelong to Great Ocean Road

By train~~ from Southern Cross Station take V-line to Geelong then by V-line bus to Torquay - Anglesea - Lorne - Apollo Bay

OR by Day trip group

The Great Ocean Road starts at Torquay and travels westward to the outskirts of Warrnambool . The road forms about 90% of B100 (previously designated as State Route 100), the remaining 10% known as the Surfcoast Highway which joins Geelong to Torquay.

The road's speed limit varies from 80 kmh (50 mph) to 100 kmh (62 mph) out of urban areas. However, its sharp curves make it difficult to maintain those speeds. It is a two lane roadway (one lane in each direction). Urban area speed limits vary from 50 kmh (31 mph) to 70 kmh (43 mph). There are speed cameras at intervals along the road.
