Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Great Ocean Road tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“You're coming up on the Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch at Eastern View. Give it a few minutes if you'd like some history with your roadside stop: the two bronze roadworkers and plaques beside the arch deserve a look.”
Real stops, real narration
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, at three of the most-loved stops in the Great Ocean Road.
“You're approaching Loch Ard Gorge, where two limestone walls enclose a sandy inlet with a narrow opening to the sea. Give this precinct about an hour if you want more than a quick look.”
Heads up The wider walking network starts from three separate car parks.
“Gibson Steps is coming up, with a choice between a quick clifftop view and a descent beneath the towering cliffs. The offshore stacks here are Gog and Magog, separate from the Twelve Apostles.”
Heads up Beach access depends on tide and swell, and the climb back up is tiring.
“You're approaching Teddy's Lookout above Lorne, where you can see the coastal road curling around a wooded headland below.”
Heads up The steep climb and small car park can make turning awkward for caravans when busy.
