The Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road is one of Melbourne's top attractions. It is about 1 1/2 hours south of Melbourne on the southern coast of Australia. It was built in the 1900s'. We drove along this well-engineered road and saw some incredible coastal sceneries. There were many places to stop and admire the beach and the rocks. Some parts of the road run a few miles inland but even that offer some beautiful scenery of rolling hills and farmlands. After driving several hours we stopped at another well-known Melbourne attraction called The Twelve Apostles. It's a group of rocks jutting out of the water near the coast.
Below are pictures of sceneries along The Great Ocean Road. If you want to see an enlarged view of the picture, just left-click on the picture.
