Our journey continues with a stop on the Surf Coast, where we enjoy morning tea and sweet treats at the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie. From here, we travel inland to the Great Otway National Park to walk among towering ancient trees in its lush rainforest.
We then make our way to the Shipwreck Coast, where we hear stories of its dramatic past. A visit to the secluded beach at Loch Ard Gorge is followed by more time to admire the impressive 12 Apostles from a viewpoint.
