Worth agreeing on before you meet

Respect Traditional Owners

The Great Ocean Road passes through the traditional lands of the Gadubanud, Gulidjan, and Eastern Maar peoples. Respect Indigenous cultural sites and consider booking Aboriginal-led tours at Cape Otway and Tower Hill for a deeper understanding of the landscape.

Leave No Trace

Pack out all rubbish, stay on marked trails, and do not remove rocks, shells, or plant material from national parks. The coastal and rainforest ecosystems are fragile — every visitor's behaviour contributes to their preservation or degradation.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Great Ocean Road travel guide.
