Torquay, the gateway to the Great Ocean Road on Day 1, has a genuine claim to being Australia's surfing capital. Originally settled as 'Spring Creek' in the 1840s, it was renamed Torquay in 1892 after the town in England. Its modern identity took shape in 1969, when local surfers founded the surf brands Rip Curl and Quiksilver here, two years after Fred Pyke opened the area's first surf shop. Just down the coast, Bells Beach has hosted the Rip Curl Pro since 1962, making it the world's longest continuously run professional surfing competition — access to the break itself wasn't even cleared for vehicles until 1960, when local surfers and an Olympic wrestler hired a bulldozer to cut a track down the cliff.
Apollo Bay, where this tour stays overnight, started life as a 19th-century timber settlement, with workers felling blue gum and mountain ash up to 40 metres tall and floating the logs out through the surf to ships anchored offshore. The original settlement was destroyed on 6 February 1851 — Victoria's infamous Black Thursday bushfires — but the town was rebuilt and a census that same year still recorded 229 residents in the Apollo Bay and Cape Otway area. Today it's a low-key fishing town rather than a tourist strip, which is part of why an overnight stay here feels so different from a day-trip's rushed final stretch.
Nearby Cape Otway Lightstation, first lit in 1848, is the oldest surviving lighthouse on mainland Australia and only the second ever completed there. Built from stone quarried at the Parker River, it operated continuously until it was decommissioned in January 1994, having run longer without interruption than any other light on the mainland. Spreading this route over two unhurried days, with a genuine overnight stay in private holiday-home accommodation, leaves real time to actually walk through sites like this rather than photograph them from a moving car.
