Split Point Lighthouse
Split Point Lighthouse stands on a headland in the town of Aireys Inlet along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. It can be reached in less than two hours by driving along the coastal road from Melbourne. Built and commissioned in 1891, this lighthouse is pure white with a striking red lantern room at the top and stands 34m tall. Because of its classic white tower with a red hat appearance, it is nicknamed Little Red Riding Hood Lighthouse by tourists, while locals affectionately call it the White Queen. The lighthouse still guides ships traveling along the Bass Strait coast today. It is also the filming location for the classic Australian children's show *Round the Twist*; its silhouette standing on the cliff top appears repeatedly in the opening credits, and many tourists who have seen the show make a special trip to find the scene from their memories. At the foot of the lighthouse is a cliff coast eroded by waves over the years. Looking from the observation deck next to the tower, Eagle Rock stands about 20m tall on the sea—a volcanic rock pillar topped with a limestone cap. The rocky beach where it is located belongs to the Eagle Rock Marine Sanctuary, where seaweed grows in clusters in tide pools, small fish and crabs appear, and a sea cave is hidden in the cliff wall below the tower. A cliff-top walking trail of about 2 km connects the lighthouse, Eagle Rock, and the stepped beach below. It winds through low coastal shrubs, and the terrain is flat and easy to walk, making it suitable for slowly experiencing the wild charm of this coastline. If you climb the tower, follow the more than 100 steps inside to the gallery outside the lantern room for a 360-degree view of the sea and the winding coastline. On a clear day, you can look east to Bells Beach and west to Cape Otway. The old photos displayed inside the tower also tell stories of the lighthouse keeper's life and early shipwrecks. The light is soft around dawn and dusk, making the white tower look particularly photogenic in the warm glow; some sections of the cliff-top trail have loose gravel, so wearing comfortable, non-slip shoes is safer.Aireys Inlet · 6.7 km from Eastern View
Memorial Arch at Eastern View
The Memorial Arch at Eastern View is one of the iconic landmarks on the Great Ocean Road. It is not only a symbolic gateway to this world-famous coastal road, but also a war memorial commemorating the soldiers who served in the First World War. The design of the Eastern View Memorial Arch is simple and solemn. It adopts an imitation wood structure and is made of local wood and concrete. The words "GREAT OCEAN ROAD" are engraved on the top of the arch, and a memorial plaque is inlaid below. In the small square next to the arch, there is a bronze statue - a soldier wearing a military cap and holding a shovel, which vividly reproduces the scene of the soldiers who built the road at that time. In addition, the memorial stone on the square records in detail the experience of Australian soldiers in the First World War and the construction process of the Great Ocean Road, for tourists to stop and visit.Eastern View · 1.5 km from downtown

The Lorne Jetty
Lorne Trestle Bridge is located on the seaside of Lorne, a large town on the Great Ocean Road. Many people like to fish here. The reefs under the bridge are covered with kelp groups that washed ashore. There are relatively old activities in the country, regardless of age group, as long as you want, the time is right and the place is right. The Lorne town of Lorne has great natural beauty, with tall oak trees lining its rugged streets and Lautet Bay an irresistible light. Lorne is very busy, and in the summer you'll be fighting day-trippers for seats in restaurants and bargains in boutiques. Still, Lorne is a lovely town to visit with or without the rush of travelers.Lorne · 8.6 km from Eastern View

Visiting Split Point Lighthouse was an unforgettable experience. The stunning views from the top made every step of the climb worthwhile. The modest entry fee is well-justified by the breathtaking panorama and the immersive experience.The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and history about the lighthouse, which added depth to the visit. While there are quite a few stairs to climb, there are resting points along the way, making it manageable for most people.After enjoying the views, we treated ourselves to scones and a drink at the charming tearooms, set in the old stables—a delightful way to relax and reflect on the visit. The Reuben sandwich was also a highlight, highly recommended for anyone looking for a satisfying bite.Split Point Lighthouse is a must-visit for its incredible vistas, rich history, and welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for a day out!

Lorne Beach is a super popular beach in Australia. The beach is really spotless, without a trace of pollution, and the sea water is also extremely blue. Because the weather was good, we also went out to sea.

Lorne Pier is located on the famous Lorne Beach. It is a wooden pier. It is very long and it takes about 20 minutes to walk from the starting point to the end point. There are many elderly people on the bridge who come back here to sunbathe or fish, giving people a very leisurely and comfortable feeling.

A beautiful lookout point along The Reat Ocean Rd. Not easy to get to without a car though.

The tour to Great Ocean Road was taken by the guide named Vance who is frequent with both English and Chinese. Since I only speak English and Japanese, it was helpful that guide can speak English too.The tour was operated quite strictly about time, so the tour went so smoothly than I expected.In the tour, you don’t need to worry about the problem of language because the guide always left the paper which show what time you should come back to bus.The guide Vance is kind and funny, and I really enjoyed his guide and recommendation.And I really enjoyed the beautiful view and it was stunning!!!!
