The Great Ocean Road Map Region

The red pin marker marks the official start to the Great Ocean Road. From here the road winds along the coastline hugging the cliffs.

How long does it take to drive along the Great Ocean Road?

The road is 664 km/413 miles, and takes about 9.5 hours to fully drive the route.

It is one of Australia's most scenic drives. If you want to thoroughly enjoy the experience, the Great Ocean Road is a magnificent three-day self-drive touring route from surf capital Torquay to the famous 12 Apostles, ending at historic fishing village Port Fairy.

The Great Ocean Road starts at Torquay and travels 243 kilometres westward to finish at Allansford near Warrnambool, the largest city along the road. The road is two lanes (one in each direction), and is covered by a speed limit changing between 50 kilometres per hour and 100 kilometres per hour.

Check out these travel times along the route.

You can do the Great Ocean Road in 1 day but at least take an organised day tour. It is a drive that takes a lot of concentration, so can be very tiring. My suggestion is to take it in stages. 

If you were to catch public transport, most of the buses from Melbourne do the route to Torquay, Anglesea, driving the Great Ocean Road with few stops and arriving at the 12 Apostles around 3-4pm.

Use this Public Transport link. Just add Great Ocean Road to the search bar

Attractions along the way using the Great Ocean Road Map

The Great Ocean Road is two-lane (one in each direction). The speed limit ranges from 50 km/h to 100 km/h. The Great Ocean Road isn't the easiest of roads to drive on. If you're not an experienced driver, you may find the winding lanes and sharp turns quite challenging.

If you are a tourist please note that you drive on the left-hand side of the road.

  • Visit Torquay Surf City, home of Rip Curl.
  • Admire the Southern Ocean and the surfers on Bells Beach.
  • Spot koalas in the wild!
  • Go on a rainforest walk through the fragrant eucalyptus trees of the Otway Ranges
  • See the 12 Apostles in the enchanting morning light. It is also the best time for a perfect shot of the famous rock formations. The Twelve Apostles are the most popular place along the Great Ocean Road and very busy except early morning and in the evening. The light conditions for the famous picture of the 12 Apostles are also best in the morning.
  • Visit the collapsed London Bridge.

Here are some of the most incredible stops on the Great Ocean Road, head east to west, for you to make along the way. Mark these on your Great Ocean Road map so that you don't miss them.

  • Lavers Hill.
  • The Twelve Apostles. You can now park your car at the 12 Apostles and walk to Gibson Steps via a 1.1km section of the Great Ocean Walk. The walk departs from the back of the kiosk at the 12 Apostles and safely underpasses the Great Ocean Road near the Gibson Steps viewing platform and beach access.
  • London Arch.
  • Loch Ard Gorge.
  • The Grotto.
  • The Bay of Islands.
  • Cheese World.
  • Warrnambool. Particularly at the time when it comes to viewing the whales as they migrate south.
