Ticked off one of Melbourne’s must-do experiences — the Great Ocean Road day tour! 🌊🚐

It was a long but totally worth-it 12-hour trip filled with stunning coastal views and iconic stops.

Our first highlight? The Split Point Lighthouse — absolutely picture-perfect! Couldn’t resist taking some shots there with the dramatic cliffs and endless ocean as the backdrop.

Next, we made a quick stop at the famous Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch at Eastern View. That’s the classic spot with the iconic wooden signage — a must for anyone doing this road trip. Fun fact, it was built to honour the WWI servicemen who constructed the road. 🇦🇺

The weather was a little moody that day — drizzles here and there — but honestly, that made it even more magical. We even caught a rainbow stretching across the Pacific Ocean. Nature showing off! 🌈

For lunch, we stopped by Apollo Bay, grabbed some burgers and fries, and soaked in the small town charm. Such a peaceful spot to recharge before the final leg.

The grand finale? The breathtaking 12 Apostles. No photos or videos can truly capture how stunning that view is in real life — towering limestone stacks surrounded by crashing waves. Hands down, the best part of the whole trip. 🌊✨

Long ride? Yes. Worth every second? Absolutely. Highly recommend this if you’re ever in Melbourne.
