Great Ocean Walk, Coastal hiking trail in Victoria, Australia.

Great Ocean Walk is a 104 km hiking trail from Apollo Bay to Glenample Homestead near the Twelve Apostles. It runs along high clifftops of banded tan and ochre rock above sandy beaches, with freestanding rock pillars standing offshore. The route passes through Otway National Park and includes hand-built stone steps and a single timber bridge.

The government of Victoria established this route in 2006 to connect Apollo Bay with the limestone rock formations. The pathway follows routes that have been used through the region for a long time.

The trail crosses country long used by the Gadubanud and other Aboriginal groups of the Otway coast, and Parks Victoria describes the route as passing through areas of cultural significance. Camp-sites were sited only after cultural, environmental and community interests were weighed, and over thirty locations were investigated. Tracks may be closed and rehabilitated to protect cultural sites and sensitive dunes.

The route has seven designated camping areas with basic facilities that require advance booking. Visitors should bring proper equipment and be prepared for changing weather and uneven terrain.

Hikers encounter many native species across about 30 different ecosystems, from koalas in eucalyptus trees to migrating whales in the waters. This variety makes each section of the walk a different nature experience.
