10 Victoria road trips from Melbourne that are anything but ordinary

Victoria is undeniably picturesque. Sure, while you could spend your spare days sipping flat whites or browsing market stalls, when the sun is out a road trip adventure can't be beat.

Great Ocean Road drive

Arguably the most iconic road trip in the state, the Great Ocean Road is laced with charming coastal towns, roaring surf, blissful beaches and stunning ocean vistas. From Melbourne, head west past Geelong to Torquay – which is the start of the Great Ocean Road. Then hug the coast all the way to Allansford.
