This is the most breathtaking viewpoint of the entire Great Ocean Road. You can see the road winding along the coast and the body of water here is a stunning shade of turquoise.

Kennett River Holiday ParkList Item 2
This is my go-to spot for finding wild Koalas. The past two times I have been here I have been lucky enough to spot several wild Koalas hanging out in the eucalyptus trees. There are also tons of gorgeous parrots that hang out in this area so feel free to take some bird food to see if you can get one to land on your arm.

The Twelve Apostles
This is the main attraction of this entire trip and it’s a must see. These stunning formations are set against the backdrop of the bright blue water and stunning cliffs. It’s a breathtaking sight.

Split Point Lighthouse
While this lighthouse has a nice view, my favourite thing about this stop is walking around the huge beach located right next to it. This sprawling beach borders a marine park so there are some really cool pieces of coral that wash up on this empty beach.

Bells Beach
The longest running sturf competition, this beach is a great one to stop & check out. When you stop here you will be able to catch some surfers in action.
-
Erskine Falls
These gorgeous falls are located in the Great Otway National Park and it’s a great stop off to get out and stretch your legs on a quick and easy hike. We did this hike in 30 minutes round-trip and we went down to the base of this tall waterfall to get a close-up view.

This is hands-down my favourite town along the Great Ocean Road. There are some spectacular beaches and some really nice shops to check out. If you are here in the morning, be sure to grab a cup of coffee at the local coffee roaster & coffee shop Hello Coffee. Read about it more here.

Loch Ard Gorge
I love this stop off because the formation is gorgeous, and there is also a great beach here to have a picnic. Last time I stopped here I saw my first wild echidna which was also very exciting!
