Embark on one of Victoria's most stunning driving routes, the Great Ocean Road, with this most recent instalment of the Portraits of Victoria series from photographers and ardent travellers Ulo Pukk and Kornelia Freeman.

The Great Ocean Road is one of the most scenic coastal drives in the world. Hand-carved into steep cliffs, the road winds along spectacular wild beaches, rock formations, historic towns, and ancient forests, enchanting millions of visitors each year. The panoramic views are breathtaking.

Starting in the surf town of Torquay, the Great Ocean Road snakes through Bells Beach, Lorne, Anglesea, Aireys Inlet, and Apollo Bay. Travellers experience the true diversity of the Victorian countryside, from lush rainforests and sheltered inlets to wild surf beaches and hidden caves.

This pictorial journey takes readers to the majestic and awe-inspiring locations that make the Great Ocean Road such an ideal road trip, for tourists and local Victorians alike. Readers are encouraged to sit back, relax, and take in the sights - from the road itself, or their couch at home.
