Description

The Great Ocean Road (known as the Surfcoast Highway between Geelong and Torquay) which stretches along the South Eastern coast of Australia between the Victorian cities of Torquay and Warrnambool is one of Australia's great scenic coastline drives.

Much of the road hugs tightly to the coast, offering outstanding views of Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean. The section near Port Campbell covers some of the most scenic coastline in the world, because of its striking and dramatic natural rock formations. These formations include Loch Ard Gorge, the Grotto, London Bridge (renamed to London Arch in recent years after the 'bridge' partially collapsed), and most famously The Twelve Apostles.

The road's speed limit varies from 80km/h (50mph) to 100km/h (62mph). However, its sharp curves make it impossible to reach those speeds in most places. It is a two lane roadway (one lane in each direction).

There are safety and speed-monitoring cameras at intervals along the road.
