The world-famous Great Ocean Road has some of the most spectacular coastal and bush scenery. The section through Geelong Otway hugs the coast from Torquay to the edge of the Port Campbell National Park. Inland, the lush rainforests with their towering tree ferns, ancient trees and thundering waterfalls, are popular visitor destinations. A little further along the Great Ocean Road, in the Port Campbell National Park, are the famous icons of Victoria the Twelve Apostles, majestic rock stacks towering above the ocean.
