Enjoy! :) The Great Ocean Road, Australia Stretching 151 miles along Australia's southeastern coast, the Great Ocean Road is a must for any nature lover. Famous for the Twelve Apostles, towering limestone formations rising from the ocean, this drive offers picturesque sights of rugged cliffs and dense rainforests. The route, starting from Torquay and ending at Allansford, is dotted with quaint towns, cozy cafes, and iconic beaches. Wildlife enthusiasts might spot koalas lounging in eucalyptus trees or kangaroos grazing in open fields. Every twist and turn has something new, from lush landscapes to dramatic seascapes, making it one of the world's most unforgettable coastal journeys. The King Road, Iceland Iceland's Ring Road, or Route 1, circles the island for 828 miles, revealing a land of fire and ice.

The road winds through charming fishing villages and rugged lava fields, with stops like the black sand beaches of Vik. While it takes about 12-13 hours of straight driving to complete, it's best explored over several days. Travelers will find themselves immersed in a world of untouched natural beauty at every mile.
