Great Ocean Road Accomodation

Great Ocean Road Accommodation is aplenty in the fantastic part of the world, you seek to go to, Cottages, Villas, maybe a lighthouse, like in that TV programme, but lets look at the area. The Great Ocean Road is a 273km stretch of road along the South Eastern coast of Australia between the Victorian cities of Torquay and Warrnambool. The road was constructed as a Memorial to those killed in the First World War. It is one of Australia's great scenic coastline drives. The Great Ocean Road starts at Torquay and travels westward to the outskirts of Warrnambool. The road forms about 90% of B100 (previously designated as State Route 100), the remaining 10% known as the Surfcoast Highway which joins Geelong to Torquay. The Great Ocean Road was built by 3000 returned servicemen (or "Diggers") as a war memorial for fellow servicemen who had been killed in the First World War. The idea for the road had been suggested as far back as 1864. Surveying started in 1918 and actual construction took place between 1919 and 1932. Parts of the Great Ocean Road run around steep coastal mountains. These were the trickiest and the final sections to be built. In 1922 the section from Eastern View to Lorne was completed. In 1932 the section from Lorne to Apollo Bay was finished, thus completing the entire road. So Great Ocean Road Accommodation is cool holiday and vacation round trip idea, mates. With exiting things.
