Melbourne Travel Deals

The south-west coast of Victoria offers one of the most spectacular drives in the world. Winding roads, plunging cliffs, eucalyptus studded hillsides, primeval rain forests, wind-battered oceans and tales of piracy and shipwreck all feature in a drive along the famed Great Ocean Road. Built between 1918 and 1932 by about 3,000 ex-servicemen; the project was dedicated to those who died in World War I. The road stretches from Anglesea to Warrnambool and includes many highlights such as the much photographed Twelve Apostles, seaside villages and the magnificent Otway Ranges and Port Campbell National Park.
