The Great Ocean Road is a 151-mile (243 km) stretch of road that starts in the city of Torquay, Australia, southwest of Melbourne, and continues along the coastline to the city of Allansford. It was built between 1919 and 1932 and is dedicated to the soldiers who lost their lives during World War I.
The Great Ocean Road is on the Australian National Heritage List and boasts several stunning natural landmarks, the most famous of which is the group of limestone rocks jutting up out of the water along the coastline: the Twelve Apostles. Other popular natural formations include the Grotto, London Arch, and the Loch Ard Gorge.
