Melbourne Trip 2001 Route

The Great Ocean Road trip route (green line). Its an amazing drive and worth setting aside several days. If you rush this you'll be disappointed. I planned 3 days but due to super hot fine weather changed plans & spent 6 days on this coast. I still want to go back to see some parts i missed. Lovely scenery and a great road (the name is deserved).
The Great Ocean Road officially starts at Torquay and finishes at Allansford where it joins the Princes Highway near Warrnambool.
Work officially started on the Great Ocean Road on 19th September 1919 and the 75 kilometre stretch between Anglesea and Apollo Bay was completed by 1932. Various sections were opened up as toll roads as they were completed. Returned soldiers from the First World War hewed the road from the rock with picks, crowbars and shovels.
