Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road is a 273 km stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia between the Victorian cities of Torquay and Warrnambool. It is one of Australia's great scenic coastline drives. If you are in Melbourne, please do not miss the Great Ocean Road tour.

Before entering the G.O.R., my sharing to you...

I was in a good tour here. What is good here is, a tour guide took us to the destination that we expected and that is just for all. For the services, emm, not bad but not the best. During my tour, we were picked up for the first stop. After few stops, the driver picked up a lady who is waiting at a corner of the junction. The driver asked the korean lady to get up into the van quickly, which the lady not enough time to ask the driver anything(is she get to the right van?) and no time for her to get her seat or even close the door of the van, the driver already continue driving to our journey. So, the lady was unstabil and fall down too. She was angry but she can't make any complaint at the moment because everything come too fast. And, the driver was just giving the excuse that the area is not allow to stop there. Also, just wonder why the visitor center there are not as friendly as what I experienced in NZ. They are trying to serve you fast and don't really brief you in details. Just for the example, I was told (after asking then only answered me) that there is a free entrance ticket if I take the tour package but when I ask for more details about what is the ticket and where is the place they did not explain more and just ask me to ask the tour guide during my tour if any question. But, after the tour we only knew that if we upgrade our tour then we will get more valueable package which I was unable to upgrade after made the deal. The free ticket is useless if we don't buy another ticket. So, for my advice, please ask for more details or more agency before making any deal.

Surfing is one of the popular activities in Australia. The shops are selling all the surfing stuffs too.


The first stop on the Great Scenic Coastal Road.

Honestly speaking, if you have the choice to choose, please visit the G.O.R urself by renting a car instead of taking a day tour if you wish to enjoy slowly because I had not enough time to take photo slowly due to the tour guide is rushing everyone to act fast. I think I just get down and then asked for getting back to the van within few mins (average) for every stop.
