We visit the Memorial Arch to appreciate the legacy of our Anzacs on all our day tours to the Great Ocean Road
After Anglesea we travel along the Surf Coast to see in the horizon the Lighthouse at Split Point (you may actually know this one from a TV show called Round The Twist that premiered in 1990?) which comes closer to view in Aireys Inlet along with the jaw-dropping architecture of ‘The Pole House’ at Fairhaven.
We stop at the Memorial Arch at Eastern View before beautiful scenery opens up before our eyes on this magnificent section of the Great Ocean Road
Learn about the heartfelt history of the Great Ocean Road construction & its tribulations as we stop at the statue that commemorates its triumphant feat & dedication before we venture along its splendour, grab an album-cover-worthy photograph under the archway that’s made out of the Mountain Ash gum tree trunks that you will see in their towering beauty later when we arrive at the Great Otways National Park
