Large site, with 3-4 walking trails to various lookout points all easily accessible from the parking lot We found the this section of the drive, near Port Campbell, to be the best part of the drive. Part of the shipwreck tour sections of the drive.

"The Rip", also known as "The Heads", is a dangerous stretch of water in Victoria, Australia, connecting Port Phillip and Bass Strait. It is the only entrance for shipping into Port Phillip and hence into Melbourne.

You get good views of the Rip from Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale as well as Point Nepean Park but the best area is between Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale.

Sheer majesty and beauty of this area cannot be denied. We spent a while here just sitting and looking, the drive around the coast from the Nobbies centre is such a beautiful drive, with several lookout spots along the way.
5. Secret Apostles Lookout
6. Twelve Apostles

Experience the awesome natural beauty of the world-famous Twelve Apostles. Rising abruptly from the tempestuous Southern Ocean, these seven limestone stacks are the highlight of the Great Ocean Road. They are best viewed at sunset when the yellow rock turns red, orange and every shade in between.

Great views and photo opportunities. Busy place, big parking lot, many tourists visiting (and we were there on a quiet day with foul weather). So fight your way towards the edge of the viewing platforms, stand your ground between all the selfie sticks and photograph one of Australia's great coastal views. After all, they may not be there much longer.

Worth stopping to take in the views and snap a few pictures. The Great Ocean road has so much stunning coastline, and this is a good place to appreciate it.
