Day 1

Great Ocean Road  ( Great   Ocean   Road)   It meanders along the west coast of Victoria, bringing visitors magnificent ocean scenery and countless beach activities. Along the way scattered some coastal towns and fishing villages. Dayang road starts from Torquay and ends at allansford. A coastal highway with a total length of nearly 300 kilometers. Dayang road has been officially designated as a national nature park since the early 1980s, which is open to tourists. After more than 20 years of development and promotion, it has become one of the few world-famous tourist attractions in Australia. Dayang road is located in the west of Melbourne. It was built to commemorate the soldiers who participated in the first World War. The people who participated in the construction also included many veterans. A total of more than 3000 workers worked hard for it. The road started construction in 1919 and was completed in 1932.

Geelong   After getting off the highway, we chose Aldi to buy. It's not in the back town Torquay   starting point. A famous surfing town. Famous surf beach - Bayers beach bells   Beach。• Between tolkie and Lorne  • Angelsea look at kangaroo - angelsea nearby   Golf   There are many wild kangaroos in the club! In Dayang Road, you need to make a detour Aireys   Let town - Lighthouse split   Point   Lighthouse and Eagle Rock   Rock。 The lighthouse, built in 1891, is only bigger than the oldest Cape   Otway   Lighthouse is more than ten years late. Down the lighthouse is eagle rock beach Lorne: Lorne   Convalescent town. Back to Otway   Melbourne city people like to spend their weekends here. The whole town is only a few hundred meters long. The house is small and colorful. It is next to a large beach. The green lawn extends along the hillside to the seaside. Drive a RV to camp here in peak season, use BBQ of free self-service barbecue oven   Yes, playing in the sea or surfing, relaxed holiday atmosphere is strong. There is a trestle on the shore of Lorne. Many people like to fish here. There is no charge for fishing in Australia, but there are restrictions on the size and quantity of fish. At one end of the trestle is a famous seafood restaurant: the   Pier   Restaurant。 Oysters here (about a dozen aud15), taste good, smooth and sweet. There is seafood beside this restaurant, but we only open on weekends when the off-season comes.

Day 2

2014-08-05

The next day was Teddy's in Lorne   Lookout and Lorne   Pier,Teddy's   Lookout is on a mountain next to Lorne town. The road is not very easy to drive. It's basically a single vertical lane, so self driving should be careful. The second stop is Kennett   River to see the wild koala, in fact, the country attracts children is not afraid of parrots. If you give me some bread, they will fly to you. From Lorne to Apollo   Bay is not far away, Cape   Patton is arriving at Apollo   The last grand viewing platform before Bay, the setting sun is just right. There are many reefs here, which are easy to sink. It is said that when Dayang road was built, a ship ran aground here, and 500 barrels of beer and other alcohol on board were given to the road builders. As a result, the project was shut down for two weeks because the workers were drunk! Arrive at APPOLO at noon   Bay。 There are tree top walking and fixed wing aircraft cruising. I didn't know that I should take a plane here until I went to twelve apostles rock.

Otway   fly   treetop   Walk this is a well preserved tropical rain forest with towering trees, and the highest trees can reach 65 meters. In order to facilitate visitors, an air corridor was built in 2003 with an investment of 6.5 million Australian dollars for visitors to walk on the tree top. It is the longest and highest forest viewing corridor in the world, with a length of 600 meters and a height of 47 meters. Along the road of the virgin forest, the ferns are at the bottom. Go ahead one by one according to the map on hand. There are 12 towers in total. Among them, tower 5 has spiral stairs, which can reach the highest point. The feeling is really different from that on the ground. There is basically no wind on the ground, but the wind above makes the whole tower sway. Tower 12 is connected with tower 5. It's a viewing platform. It's more exciting and shaky. Standing in the front of the tower and enjoying the scenery with the wind, you really feel like you're ready to fly.

From Apollo Town, continue to walk west along B100, pay attention to the speed not too fast, pay attention to the forks and signs on the side of the road, see a great   Otway   National   Park's sign, turn in, and you'll enter Otway National Park, a must visit scenic spot on Dayang Road, to see wild koala and Otway lighthouse. The road here is much more dangerous than before, many S-shaped sections. C157 is the famous Cape   Otway   Lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse in the southernmost part of Australia, so tickets are required here. In addition, I feel that lighthouses are almost the same, so we didn't go in and had a look at them from a distance. From the previous strategies, we know that we can see many wild koalas on the way to the lighthouse. It turns out that it's not very easy. But when we turned out to Dayang Road, our son cheered and said that we saw koalas on the side of the road and we stopped at once. This section of ocean road is far away from the coast and has been running through the rainforest. It's all mountain roads   Hill is the highest point on Dayang road. It turns out that there is only one gas station, two cafes and one public toilet. Drive back to Dayang Road, about 40 minutes to the next attraction, Gibson   Steps! Leave Gibson   Steps, go to port first   Campbell checks in at night. In Australia, the front desk of smaller motel is not 24 hours. They usually stay around 7:30 p.m., so if you have a mobile phone at this time, you can call them. The front desk will leave the door for you, and the key will be put in your room!

Day 3

2014-08-06

Port   Campbell town is the most concentrated and spectacular section of the coast on Dayang Road, which is tens of kilometers away from the town. From sunrise to sunset, from cloudy to sunny, each scenic spot reveals a different feeling. So we have a close look at these scenic spots. Sunken seashore is the essence of the whole Great Ocean Road, and the twelve apostle rock is the most tourist attraction of this essence. We had a ten day self driving tour, the only time we had the feeling of being in a scenic spot in China. Wikipedia says the stones were originally known as "sows and piglets," and in the 1950s their name was changed to the more attractive rock of the twelve apostles (the name comes from Jesus' twelve apostles), although only nine stones were left. And now, after the erosion of huge waves, it has collapsed to only six pieces. Nevertheless, it is still very spectacular.

As planned, we went to the side of London Bridge in the morning until wannambool. We came back after lunch and went down to the twelve apostles to watch the sunset. In the afternoon, the twelve apostles were windy and drizzled, and there were many tourists. The 10 minute helicopter with 145 Australian dollars was full of long queues and stopped picking up guests. Let's not leave a good impression here. Compared with the surrounding scenic spots, I think the scenery along the coast is similar. Bayof islands, in particular, is even more spectacular than the rock of the twelve apostles. The   Arch is also a rock structure formed by geomantic erosion. If you want to experience the feeling of being on the scene, you have to be on the scene. No kind of photos or words can describe such a scene“ London Bridge   It's also called "London Bridge"   It is another famous landscape on the shipwreck coast next only to the twelve disciples rock. This huge rock was originally connected with the mainland. In the evening of January 15, 1990, the round hole connecting with the land suddenly collapsed, forming the current broken bridge. Two passengers were trapped on the broken bridge when the rock collapsed, and they were not out of danger until the helicopter came to rescue them. Bay   of   The islands is a unique place that is inaccessible. In addition, the sky has been completely clear, and finally saw two days since the dream of the dark blue sea.

Loch, not far from the 12 disciples   Ard   George is a coast with steep structure. There are a lot of lookout. It takes about two hours to see all of them. One of them is called Lei Dong. Sea water from both sides of the high cliff formed by the gate into the impact of rocks, billows, sound like thunder, so named. About accommodation: we live in port   Campbell   Parkview   Motel's family   Studio, 160 every night, facilities and so on are also good.

Day 4

2014-08-07

The fourth day was the last day of Dayang road. We reopened the road and were reluctant to part with it. A lot of people will go from inland, through Colac, the largest freshwater lake in Victoria. The town can be visited in an hour or two. The main attractions are the old buildings in Campton, the winery in corac (www.brownmagpiewines. Com), the raspberry and blueberry farm (www.gentleannie. Com. AU) and the scenery of lakes and mountains. This is a Lake District, lake   The largest lake in Victoria is the largest salt lake in Australia. Another option to Philippe island is to take a ferry to Sorrento in Queenscliff. However, there are very few ferries in off-season. Every two hours, we still have a high speed, so we don't go there. The journey of Dayang road is still very spectacular. One scenic spot after another is worth savoring. After lunch at the bridge of Lorne at noon, we went straight to Melbourne along A1. So far, we have completed the journey of ocean section!
