Heads up
- Australia drives on the left; the Great Ocean Road is narrow and winding, so use the pull-outs and avoid driving it after dark because wildlife is common.
- Book Otway Fly zipline tours and the Flagstaff Hill evening sound-and-laser show in advance and check the session times.
- Check VicRoads for closures, landslips or bushfire alerts, and stay behind the barriers at the cliff lookouts.
