Not many national parks can count attractions as iconic as the Great Ocean Road within their boundaries, so this forest-cloaked, surf-bashed corner of Victoria is an unforgettable one. But there’s far more to it than its world-famous road trip. Its gullies, plateaus, mountains and woodlands are a joy to explore, as are the beaches and bays that fringe its coastline. Highlights for travellers on two feet include the 110km Great Ocean Walk, a hugely immersive way to make the most of the region’s dazzling scenery, while set-piece attractions such as the Otway Fly Treetop Walk and the historical Cape Otway Lighthouse are further draws.
