Great Ocean Road joins heritage list
Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, including the Twelve Apostles and world-famous Bells Beach, is to be placed on Australia’s National Heritage List
It will join coastal places such as the Great Barrier Reef and Point Nepean with National Heritage listing, which recognises and protects Australia’s most valued natural, Indigenous and historic heritage sites.
Tourism Victoria chief, Mark Stone, said, “The Great Ocean Road is one of the most famous and scenic coastal drives in the world, it is a powerful and spectacular experience,â€
The 2011 Great Ocean Road Marathon and Festival of Distance Running, held on the weekend of May 14-15, is expected to attract a record entry of 4000 participants from approximately 15 countries.
The Great Ocean Road can also now be explored on foot. The 104-kilometre Great Ocean Walk stretches from Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles and passes through the Otway and Port Campbell National Parks.
Also new to the Great Ocean Road region is a Zip Line Tour by Otway Fly Tree Top Adventures.
The Great Ocean Road was constructed as a memorial of the war service and sacrifice of Victoria’s First World War servicemen and women.
More than 3000 returned servicemen worked on the construction of the road for 13 years from 1919 to 1932.
