Melbourne to Lorne road trip: Distance, driving time & best stops

Melbourne to Lorne drive: Anglesea to Lorne

On the way from Anglesea to Lorne, there are several good photo stops. Keep your camera ready for the Loveridge Lookout, Soapy Rock, Guvvos Beach and Urquhart Bluff.

The next town along the Great Ocean Road is Aireys Inlet. Highlights here include the Stony Point Lighthouse – aka the Round The Twist Lighthouse – plus Aireys Pub. Blazing Saddles also offers horse-riding tours.

Fairhaven Beach, which stretches from neighbouring Fairhaven towards Moggs Creek, is a lovely spot, too.

From here, the Great Ocean Road runs along the coastline to the Memorial Arch. The information signs here tell of how the Great Ocean Road was built as a war memorial by returned soldiers. It is seriously twisty in places, and the lookouts at Devil’s Elbow and Cathedral Rock are testament to that.
