In the elite section, every kilometer is a superb view, each column of rock towering over the sea is of a different style, like God's uncanny workmanship. The rising sun rises and the golden light overflows; the sun sets and the hundred birds return to their nests, and here you may have an unforgettable beauty forever. After the First World War, about 50,000 Australian soldiers returned from Britain. At the time when the Great Depression of the 1930s, the country’s economy was in a sluggish state, and the unemployment rate was rising, the government was out of frustration. Only the soldiers were allowed to clear roads. In 1932, a 180-km coastal highway from Geelong to Port Campbell was officially opened. Since English World War I is often referred to as "Great War" and this road was built by soldiers who participated in the First World War, it was formally named "Great Ocean Road." Overlooking the Great Ocean Road from a helicopter, the blue sky and the blue sea in the distance, and the connection between the heaven and the earth; the greenness of the mainland is green and varies in depth; the white waves beat the yellow beaches and the colorful birds walk leisurely on the red-brown land. The bright and bright colors in the natural world are perfectly reconciled, forming a fantastic rainbow coastline. first day Melbourne - Geelong - Torquary - Lorne - Apollo Bay The journey on the first day is the longest and it is advisable to leave as early as possible. Geelong is almost the midpoint of the first day of the journey, and the city is the second largest city in Victoria. The facilities are relatively complete and can be used as lunch and rest venues. After noon, the sun will be brighter and continue to drive southwest. When you arrive in Torkan, you will actually enter the Great Ocean Road, which is B100. B100 has a maximum speed limit of 100 kilometers. Many detours have instructions for deceleration. It is safest to follow the requirements of the road signs. The Great Ocean Road is a single lane and the road is narrow. Be careful when the two cars meet. Torkan is the entrance to the Great Ocean Road and is the starting point of the “surf beach†section, which is home to the Bells Beach, the first famous attraction on the Great Ocean Road. Although it is a famous spot, but when we went there was no one. This contrasts with the domestic "famous attractions". The road leading to Bells Beach fluctuates and is very exciting. As long as the weather is good, the sea looks like a huge sapphire. It looks beautiful and beautiful. From Bells Beach, back to B100, continue straight ahead and enter the second town, Anglesea. The town is very small, there is a small lake in the town, there is a hydrophilic platform on the lake, many egrets parked on the lake, or free to fly, giving people a sense of serenity. After passing Eagle Rock, continue to Lorne. This is a large town. The houses in the town are colorful and have a fairytale world. There are many families with RVs camping here. In fact, after our practice, it is not very early if you rent out your car in the morning. It is a good choice to stay in Lorne on the first day and you will not be too late. Since we had booked a room in Aporobe's YHA, we had no choice but to move forward. It takes about 1 hour from Lorne to Apollo Bay. Although the summer in Australia will not be completely down until 8 o'clock in the evening, the sky will begin to darken after 6 o'clock. The road between these two towns is basically no place to stay and can be recharged. If Lorne finds that there is not enough gasoline, food and water, it is necessary to make a good supply in town before moving on. This section of the mountain is near the sea, built on a cliff, and it is winding. the next day Apollo Bay - Great Otway National Park - Lavers Hill - Princess Town Continue along the B100 until the Great Otway National Park enters the ramp, ending at the location of the Cape Otway Lighthouse. This is the oldest existing lighthouse on the Australian mainland. The lights on the lighthouse have been shining since 1848. For the immigration by countless European ships, this is the first light they see after leaving Europe. There are also staff in the old house in the scenic area who wear traditional British style costumes to explain the history of the lighthouse and Australia. From the lighthouse to the B100 is a national park (Australia is a national park everywhere), dense forests, inhabiting various animals. We have had the good fortune to see three wild koala bears. It is said that native Australians rarely see the wild koala. Walking in the woods is actually building a lot of towers in a forest and connecting them together to form an air walk. The trees in these forests are very tall and can reach a height of 30 meters. The purpose of establishing walking paths is to protect the ecology. Second, it is to allow tourists to better observe the layered ecosystem of the forest. Later, we decided to slowly open the rainforest and feel that it is not safe. After more than one hour, he finally returned to the shoreline. There are many corners in the rainforest section, slippery roads, and changing weather. Driving really needs care. It is suggested that friends who drive by themselves should start early in the rain forest section and try to leave the rainforest section in the evening and return to the coast. About 7 o'clock, we arrived in Princeton, the nearest town to the 12th Apostles. The town left the Twelve Apostles, about 6 kilometers, and drove for 10 minutes. The town is small, 50 meters before and after, with few houses. We lived in a hotel in Zhenkou, a beautiful house named 13 Apostles (13 disciples). The handsome owner told us that in the last few days, the sunset began at 7:30, and from Prince Town to the Twelve Apostles. It takes only about 5 to 10 minutes. Let's put our luggage down and watch it. So we drove to the long-awaited Great Ocean Road, the Twelve Apostles. Although the clouds were heavy and the sunset was not good, there was also a sense of majesty and a sense of wildness. The third day Princess Town - Port Campbell National Park - Warrnambool This is the most exciting and exciting day for the entire Great Ocean Road. The fine weather and calm sea breeze let me fully enjoy the wonders of the Great Ocean Road. The day before, the sun was dim and I couldn't see the sunset golden light of the 12 disciples in Port Campbell National Park. So I wanted to take another chance to see the sunrise. At 4:30 in the morning, when it was still dark, we got up. On that day, we were the earliest visitors to the 12th Apostle viewing platform. Finding the best shooting point, setting up the camera, we usher in a magnificent sunrise moment. About a half-hour drive from the Twelve Apostles, we saw a stone "London Bridge" that was also eroded by waves. The London Bridge originally had two arches. In the 1980s, when the left arch collapsed, it was just like the collapse of the Twelve Apostles. With a loud noise, the end of the bridge was separated from the mainland. The whole process was only a few seconds. Interestingly, there was a couple on the bridge at the time. They looked at the collapsed bridge and it was a kind of feeling of regaining their lives. The two were later rescued by helicopters and returned to the mainland. Combining the Arches, London Bridge, and the Twelve Apostles, we can see the formation and development of these rock formations on the edge of the coastline: the waters of the South Pacific continuously impact the south coast of Australia, which belongs to limestone, and are impacted by seawater. As a result, arches such as Arch and London Bridge were formed first, and then the arches collapsed to form twelve apostles as pillars. Finally, the pillars also collapsed and formed a new shoreline. After crossing the Bay of Islands, the sights of the Great Ocean Road are basically over. If you visit each attraction here, it's not too early to basically finish the day. According to our experience, we need to refuel at this time. However, there is no need to add too much because the oil prices in the tourist areas are expensive. The key is to intensify the hurry. One hour later, it reached Waranbur, a large town on the Great Ocean Road, and was filled with oil. At this time, the price of oil was already cheap. Fourth day Warrnambool - Camperdown - Colac - Geelong - Melbourne The fourth day is the return journey. The main road that passes through this day is A1 and M1. The total length is about 270 kilometers. It takes 3-4 hours to drive. The inland landscape is dominated by traditional towns. Camperdown, Clarke and Geelong are the major towns of the A1 highway and are available for rest and resupply. This day actually takes 5 to 6 hours, so it is recommended that you start early on the day of your return journey (9am or earlier), you can stop at Camperdown or Clarke for lunch and rest, refuel in Geelong, get ready before 5pm Return the car to the rental car, otherwise it will be very troublesome to find a parking space in the city. In addition, be sure to book a hotel to stay in Melbourne in advance so that you can rest and adjust immediately when you return to the downtown area. As night falls, you can stroll through the long Chinatown, which runs through Melbourne's city centre, and pick a restaurant to enjoy. You can take a walk or take a carriage ride through the Victorian fairytale world. You can also stop by the magnificent church and taste the history. Archaic buildings; take a look at the Australian Open game at the Federation Square; look at the neon signs on both sides of the Yarra River; take a relaxing heart and enjoy the unique charm of the blurred nights in Melbourne. Our trip to the Great Ocean Road also puts a perfect stop to this. 
Spread across the Great Ocean Road between the raging South Pacific and Victoria's majestic mountains in Australia, the spectacular landscape that abounds along the way stands proudly at the pinnacle of the world's natural landscape. Driving on the Great Ocean Road, you can feel amazing and impressed again and again.
