Great Ocean Road and the cliffs of the 12 Apostles is one of the most memorable sights of Australia, most often depicted in the tourist brochures. 243 km-long road that winds along the Southeast coast of Victoria between small towns of Torquay and Warrnambool. In 2011 the road was included in the National Heritage list Australia.

The idea of construction of this highway originated in 1864, however, the full project appeared only half a century later, in 1918. And construction lasted from 1919 to 1932 he was the road built 3 thousands of soldiers returning from the First World war, and today it is considered the memorial dedicated to them and their comrades who did not return.

A large part of the great Ocean Road goes right along the coast of the southern ocean, revealing breathtaking views. Particularly beautiful landscape between the town of Anglet and Appolonov Bay. Another noteworthy site is near the town of Lorne, where the hilly terrain cut through mountain streams and waterfalls. There is a road and past the Otway national Park, which is home to rare species of plants in the tropical forests of southern Australia.

But perhaps the main attraction of a long journey are the famous Twelve Apostles limestone cliffs rising from the ocean. They are located off the coast of the national Park of Port Campbell between the cities of Peterborough and Princeton. Once these rocks were called "Pig and piglets", but in 1922, for the sake of attracting tourists they were renamed the Twelve Apostles, despite the fact that the rocks here were 9, not 12. In 2005, a 50-meter cliff collapsed under the impact of erosion, portachiavi it for thousands of years. Sooner or later the waves and wind will do the trick, and the remaining 8 "apostles" will also be buried in the depths of the ocean. While look at this amazing creation of nature come to 2 million tourists a year!
