Great Ocean Road

 

Great Ocean Road

While in Melbourne where we hired a SUV on driving basis while sojourning there, so, one day it was decided to drive along Great Ocean Road (GOR) which was celebrating its 100^th anniversary since its inception, in 2019, it is remain world’s greatest road trip and pleasant to drive along the Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, which is famous for spectacular scenery, which starts from Victoria surf capital Torquey, is about 105 Kms from Melbourne and ends after travelling about 245 Kms to Allansford, near Warranambool.

 The road hugs wild and beautiful coastline sometime just meters away. Driving on this road faces heavy traffic sometimes, so the speed is checked to 45 to 60 Kms/hr and viewpoints are made along with the road to see the natural wonders of beautiful vast Ocean and often enchanting views of Whales throwing huge water up in the air can be seen. As we drove down the road we met rain forest areas, attractive small towns, and population of Koalas.

At one view point a tourist bus stopped and many tourists alighted and became screaming to see the behaviors of Whales. The bus was driving by a young and smart white lady in Khakhee and short with mountaineering boots on, I also saw that she was guiding her guests also.

 The GOR also crosses through remote sparsely populated villages. In this way reached 12^th Apostal a beautiful limestone stacks rising majestically from the sea. Its breathtaking view mesmerizing the tourists. Private chartered tourist’s buses are available in Melbourne for this worth spectacular scene visit.
