Great Ocean Road Victoria

The Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road is said to be one of the world's most scenic coastal drives and it's hard to see why. Wonder at some of the most beautiful natural attractions in Australia, ancient rainforests, waterfalls, light houses, the 12 Apostles , Gibson Steps, rugged coastline, beautiful beaches, abundant local wildlife and the magnificence Otway Ranges. A road trip along the Great Ocean Road gives many photo opportunities of the breathtaking cliff faces winding along the road from one of the many lookouts along the road. Our day started very hot 30 degrees temperature until early afternoon when a storm front came through, which made for very rough seas, strong winds, dark clouds, rain showers and rainbows. So some interesting photo's were taken.

While driving the Great Ocean Road on Friday we called into have a look at the Split Point Lighthouse at Federal Street Airey's Inlet. Affectionately know by the locals as "The White Queen" she is a welcome sight for ships that have rounded Cape Otway. She was originally called Eagles Nest Point when she was built in 1891 at Otway National Park. The white cement concrete tower has a Chance Brothers first order lantern and a 920mm focal radius lens. The still operating lighthouse is open to the public with guided tours available 9am-5pm in summer and 11am-3pm in winter.
