When to visit

The best time to visit Great Ocean Road is during the summer months from December to February when the weather is warm and ideal for outdoor activities. However, it can get crowded during this time. Spring and autumn are also good times to visit as the weather is mild and there are fewer tourists. Winter months from June to August can be cold and rainy, but it's a great time for whale watching.

Getting around

There are also tour buses available for those who prefer not to drive.

Traveller tips

Make sure to pack sunscreen and insect repellent as you'll be spending a lot of time outdoors. It's also a good idea to have a camera handy to capture the breathtaking views. Check the weather forecast before you go and dress accordingly. Keep an eye out for wildlife like koalas and kangaroos that can be spotted along the road. Lastly, be prepared for long stretches of driving, so take breaks and stay hydrated.
