The Great Ocean Road

Limestone stacks standing alone in the surf after the cliffs around them eroded away, a coast road built by returning soldiers that hugs the water for the whole drive, and koalas napping in the gum trees along the way.
The best time to visit The Great Ocean Road is Mar–May, Sep–Nov, when typical daytime highs reach about 20°C (67°F).
