Great Ocean Road is considered one of the most beautiful scenic routes in the world. It runs along the southern coast of Australia in the state of Victoria, rising to high stone cliffs and falling into wild beaches. The road abounds with vantage points from which you can observe the vast ocean and curved coastline of the continent, while the beaches scattered along the road are the Mecca for surfers who come here from all over the world to brave the element. A very strong wind blows here, therefore, although the road is situated in a warm climate, tourists are advised to take windbreakers, warm clothes and hot drinks in thermos flasks.
