Visiting Melbourne on a longer trip and want to know what the best weekend getaway from Melbourne is? Then this post is for you.
Torquay will be your first stop on the Great Ocean Road, said to be the birthplace of Australian surfing it’s where the surf brands Rip Curl and Billabong come from.
You can’t visit Torquay without making a stop at Bells Beach. This small windswept beach is famous amongst surfers for its wild surf and craggy cliffs.
From Torquay head towards Lorne stopping at Split Point Lighthouse in Aireys Inlet along the way. Guided tours are available here every day.
Lorne is pretty as a picture with its main street framed by the golden sands of Louttit Bay and the lush Otway hinterland.
For nature enthusiasts, a Great Ocean Road trip must include a visit to Erskine Falls. Located 13 minutes inland from Lorne this popular waterfall stands over 30 metres
