Things To Do In Great Ocean Road

One of the world's most spectacular road trips, the Great Ocean Road hugs more than 300 kilometers of Victoria's dramatic coastline from Torquay to Allansford, near Warrnambool.

It is only small - plan to spend about 45 minutes there but the surf memorabilia, surf movies showing all day long, and surf inspired play made visiting it a success for us. What was inspiring for me about this museum was the story of surfing - how what was a rogue sport not too long ago has influenced Australian and worldwide culture, become a multi-million dollar industry, and shaped tourism in Australia.
