Heads Up
  • The Great Ocean Road is narrow and winding; drive on the left, use pull-outs to let traffic pass, and avoid driving the Otways after dark when wildlife is active.
  • Visit the Twelve Apostles at sunrise or sunset for the best light and fewer crowds; check viewing platform access and local conditions before going.
  • Book Otway Fly tickets and Tower Hill's Aboriginal-guided walks in advance, and check distillery tasting hours.
  • Spot koalas from the roadside at Kennett River without feeding them, and verify any road closures or weather warnings before setting out.
