 This iconic coastal road is more than just a route connecting Victoria’s coast towns. It’s a powerful reminder of history built along the rugged southern coastline by soldiers returning from the First World War . Every turn, every viewpoint , every rocky inlet carries that weight of history alongside the salt spray of the Bass Strait .
 
 When I ( travel guide Paul Beames ) first set off down the Great Ocean Road in an battered campervan , I thought I was just chasing postcard views of the Twelve Apostles . Instead, I stumbled upon the road’s true heart — detours through the Great Otway National Park , chats over hot pies in Apollo Bay , and fast-changing weather that keeps you guessing . That’s the real spirit of Great Ocean Road travel : it’s never just about the endpoint, it’s about the ride itself, the people who made it possible, and the stories shared on the road.
 
 Now guided trips from Autopia Tours continue that adventurous legacy , helping travellers take their time, enjoy every curve of the coast , and understand the landscape rather than just speeding through. Whether you’re behind the wheel or travelling with a local guide, this road has a way of proving that it’s the journey, not the destination .
