The Great Ocean Road (B100) begins at Torquay, a 90-minute drive southwest of Melbourne, and hugs the coast of the windswept Southern Ocean for 249 miles (400 km) to Nelson. The drive swings past the surfing waves of Bells Beach, fishing villages, whale lookouts, koalas in the wild in Great Otway National Park and the dramatic limestone stacks called the 12 Apostles. Cool climate wineries and seafood restaurants are all along the highway.
