The
Great Ocean Road is an
Australian National Heritage listed stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of
Australia between the
Victorian cities of
Torquay and
Allansford. Built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932 and dedicated to soldiers killed during
World War I, the road is the world's largest
war memorial. Winding through varying terrain along the coast and providing access to several prominent landmarks, including the
Twelve Apostles limestone stack formations, the road is an important tourist attraction in the region.
