The great ocean road is undeniably the most famous destination around Melbourne. There are many lookouts along the 243 km coastal drive, starting from Torquay to Allansford. The most well-known of all lookouts is the 12 Apostles (only 7 left now, so don't miss it!). The 12 Apostles is 230 km away from Melbourne CBD, less than 3 hours drive directly (via the Princess Highway). But, what's the fun in that? Obviously, the best way is to start from Torquay (By the way, if you are into surfing, the waves in Torquay won't let you down).
If you like to enjoy the most in the shortest amount of time. I recommend you to drive from Melbourne to Birregurra along the Princess highway.
Then it's the forest drive among the natural Australian landscape to The Cape Otway Lightstation. From there, you can visit The 12 Apostles, The Loch Ard Gorge, The Arch, and The London Bridge via the Great Ocean Road. You get to enjoy highway, forest, and coastal drive all in once. How good it that!
