Geelong to Port Campbell road trip via the Great Ocean Road

Geelong to Port Campbell road trip: Princetown to Port Campbell

Many of the Great Ocean Road’s star attractions come on the stretch from Princetown to Port Campbell.

Clifton Beach is the in-the-know secret, but all the Great Ocean Road highlights that the tour buses come for arrive thick and fast afterwards. The Gibson Steps lead down to Gibson Beach, then the Twelve Apostles come into view. Here, a 12 Apostles helicopter flight is a great way to see the coast.

The blizzard of grandstanding rock formations keeps coming. The Tom and Eva Lookout overlooks the Razorback, Loch Ard Gorge provides a sea-cut canyon and the Muttonbird Island Lookout peers over to a colony of shearwaters.

A little further along are the Bakers Oven and Sparks Gully, should you be in the market for more weird coastal rock formations.

Port Campbell, when you arrive, is little more than a village. But there are plenty of Port Campbell accommodation options and a few good lookouts at the end of short walking trails.
