Australia’s Ocean Road, known as the world`s most beautiful coastal highway, is close to the southern coast of Victoria.

After World War I, some 50,000 Australian soldiers returned from England.

In 1932, the 180-kilometer seaside road from Jilong to Campbell Port was officially completed and opened.

Because World War I is usually called "Great War" in English, this road was built by soldiers who participated in World War I, so it was officially named "Great Ocean Road".

Construction of the road began in 1919 and was fully connected in 1932.

The National Nature Park is open to tourists. After more than 20 years of development and promotion, it has become one of the few world famous tourist attractions in Australia.

Oceania Road, opened up in the middle of the cliff, officially starts at Tolcan (Torquay), and ends with Allen Ford (Allansford), 276km in length, with wonders along the way.

Driving Mercedes-Benz on the Great Ocean Road can be said to be a great combination of surprise trips again and again, less than a kilometer along the way is a desperate sight, and none of the pillars standing at sea is the same.

Setting sun and flying birds are beautiful scenery that many people may not see in their lives.

From Melbourne to Allen Ford (Allansford), there are many big cities and towns, including: Gillon (Geelong), Tolcan (Torquay), Apollo Bay (Apollo Bay) and Campbell Port (Port Campbell).

Among them, the twelve disciples` stones(or``twelve-rock`` )are its famous landmarks on the coastline in Campbell National Park on Ocean Road.


It is actually 12 sand rocks protruding from the sea surface of the South Pacific Ocean. After thousands of waves and sea breeze baptism, it has been carved and chiseled by nature into 12 rocks that look very human and have very different expressions.

The independent reef standing in the blue sea is in different shapes, because its number and shape are similar to the twelve disciples of Jusus, so it is known as the "twelve disciple stone".

Nature`s craftsmanship has created amazing grandeur and majesty, but to this day, only seven and a half of the 12 rock walls remain, three of which have collapsed over the years as a result of the impact of the waves.

The most recent collapse was on July 3, 2005. A 45-meter-high rock suddenly collapsed and turned into a pile of gravel in seconds, still 10 meters above sea level.

Scientific researchers say the twelve disciples will one day disappear.

The best way to play Ocean Road is to travel by yourself. For friends who do not have enough time, they can report for local tour groups in Melbourne. There are also two days and three days in one day, and the price is fair. October of each year until June of the following year is the golden period of self-driving on Ocean Road.

If you have time and a chance, go and have a look. The moment you see is slowly becoming history.
