The current arch is the fourth version that has been built. It was one of the original toll points where money was collected from those travelling along to reimburse the cost of the construction. Your guide will tell you of stories from the past about the local family in charge of these very booths. They took the toll point down once costs of building the road were paid off and made the second version out of mostly wood, but this version was burnt down in the 1983 Ash Wednesday bush fire tragedy. Soon after the new archway was constructed, a truck accidentally destroyed it. This led to the 3rd version being constructed which is still there today. The Great ocean road sign atop the arch is still the original sign that was created.

Stop At: Mount Defiance Lookout, Great Ocean Road, Separation Creek, Wye River, Victoria 3234 Australia
Nestled between Lorne and Wye River, Mount Defiance is one of the trickiest sections of the Great Ocean Road.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Carisbrook Creek, Wongarra, Apollo Bay, Victoria Australia
This is one of our favourite stops. Why? Because nobody realises it is here. It isn’t even marked with a sign and is rarely mentioned in any guide books, meaning the chances of seeing another tourist is pretty slim.

Built in 1848, the lighthouse known as the ‘Beacon of Hope,’ sits 90 metres above the pristine ocean of Bass Strait.
Hundreds of lives were lost along this shipwreck coast – a sad but fascinating history which led to the building of the Lightstation on the cliffs edge.

Stop At: Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road, Port Campbell, Victoria 3269 Australia
This site is often the highlight for most guests. Your guide will explain how the so-called Apostles were formed by erosion, as the harsh and extreme weather conditions from the Southern Ocean gradually eroded the soft limestone to form caves in the cliffs, which then become arches that eventually collapse, leaving rock stacks up to 50 m (160 ft) high. The stacks have since been susceptible to further erosion from waves culminating in July 2005, when a 50-metre-tall stack collapsed, leaving seven standing at the Twelve Apostles viewpoint that you will view. Due to wave action eroding the cliffs, existing headlands are expected to become new limestone stacks in the future. On a 3 day tour, you have the option of viewing this area during sunset. This is not only a quieter time of the day, but often lends itself for better photography.
Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Loch Ard Gorge, Great Ocean Road Port Campbell National Park, Victoria 3269 Australia
At this stop, your guide will tell you stories of old. It is here, that the clipper ship Loch Ard, which ran aground on nearby Muttonbird Island on 1 June 1878, was approaching the end of a three-month journey from England to Melbourne. Of the fifty-four passengers and crew, only two survived: Tom Pearce, at 19 years of age, a ship’s apprentice, and Eva Carmichael, an Irishwoman emigrating with her family, also 19. Tom was washed ashore, and rescued Eva from the water after hearing her cries for help. Tom then proceeded to climb out of the gorge to raise the alarm to locals who immediately set into plan a rescue attempt.

The arch of the nearby Island Archway collapsed in June 2009. The feature now appears as two unconnected rock pillars. They have since been officially named Tom and Eva after the two teenage survivors of the Loch Ard shipwreck.

Stop At: London Bridge, west of Port Campbell on Great Ocean Road, Port Campbell, Victoria 3269 Australia
Next, we visit London Bridge, which, prior to 1990 was a double-spanning bridge connected to the mainland. The stack was created over hundreds of years, with the weaker layers toward the base being eroded away by wind and water to form the two bridges.
