The Great Ocean Road is one of the perfect nature tourist destinations in the southern part of Australia. Just lying in the heart between Geelong and Torquay, the Surfcoast Highway as it is commonly known to the locals is considered as Australia’s best coastline drives. In fact, the Great Ocean Road has been the one of the most documented coastline that appeared in many movie films and music videos and was once voted in an international survey as the most scenic coastline in the world.

Closely knitted to the southern seacoast, the great Ocean Road covers a panoramic view of Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean. Close to the port, you can find Campbell Section which shows the striking and wonderful natural rock sculptures. Among its many rock formations, the most popular is the Loch Ard Gorge, The Grotto, which replicates an altar and finally, the world famous Twelve Apostles that resembles the disciples of Jesus standing and some are kneeling. The now know as London Arch was formerly called London Bridge but the locals called it “arch” instead when the land section or the “bridge” collapsed in its own natural order. Other formations also include the Blow Hole and the Elephant Rock which got its name form the huge build of the mammal. These rock formations are naturally formed through time as the waves sculptured the rocks during high tides and low tides.

The Great Ocean Road is a natural park that has earned the admiration and awe of foreign and local tourists. These natural forms portray forms and figures as they are yet impossible to have been touched or sculpted by human hands being surrounded by ocean waters. These rock formations have unique and intricate designs of lines that have earned the interest of artists like painters and photographers alike.
