The Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage listed 243 kilometre (151 mi) stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia between the Victorian cities of Torquay and Allansford. Built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932 and dedicated to soldiers killed during World War I, the road is the world's largest war memorial. Winding through varying terrain along the coast and providing access to several prominent landmarks, including the Twelve Apostles limestone stack formations, the road is an important tourist attraction in the region.

Location: From Torquay to Port Campbell


I had the chance to spend a few days in the area. Thought the moody weather I was lucky enough to see the sun on early mornings and to experience some great sunrise. We started our drive from Torquay where we could enjoy the sunrise at the renowned surf beach of Bells Beach until Port Campbell where we spent the night so we could witness an other sunrise at the twelve apostles and it was definitely worth it.


By now you should know that when I see a bird I have to take pictures, so enjoy a portrait of a friend I met on the road.
