4.5Twelve Apostles(2.261 reviews) - Ten Zombies … a lockdown visit Saturday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Lookouts • Geologic Formations
Experience the awesome natural beauty of the world-famous Twelve Apostles. Rising abruptly from the tempestuous Southern Ocean, these seven limestone stacks are the highlight of the Great Ocean Road.

4.5London Bridge(1.004 reviews) - A must to visit ! Saturday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Geologic Formations
Remember the song of ‘London Bridge is falling down’ then you’d definitely be right; London Bridge is a limestone archway just offshore that was once connected to the mainland. The part of the rock formation actually collapsed in January 1990, creating the sheer cliffside that you see today. The views from the London Bridge lookout over the Arch and the pristine beach below are beautiful and definitely one of our favourite places to see on the Great Ocean Road. Came here during winter time and can be more peaceful as not much tourist . You can really enjoy the breathtaking and the mother nature has done to this magnificent view.See more..

4.5Red Rock(119 reviews) - Drive to Lookout Geologic Formations

4.5Eagles Nest(96 reviews) - Ali Brown Geologic Formations
I spent just over a month visiting my daughter in Victoria and upon reflection, this was the most beautiful place I visited in South Australia (no mean feat). We drove along the Inverloch - Cape Patterson road and stopped here for a visit. I was just blown away by the magnificent views and this astounding place has remained very clearly in my memory. The rocky formation Eagle’s Nest maintains an almost gothic sense of the power of nature and the wild, while the idyllic beach is probably the closest thing to Paradise that I’ve ever seen. I only wish I was able to manage the steps down to the beach, but even so, this place truly fires my imagination and the memory (and copious photographs) of it bring me happiness still.See more..
An interesting spot for a wander. strange formations left s a result of mining and the underlying rock formations. The colour is quite different to the surrounding area. In Spring there are a number of wildflowers to look for.There are a couple of suggested paths of varying length, depending on the time you have.Follow the signs from the Main rd. to find the area.See more..
Pyramid Rock rises up out of the Bass Straight. This place is wild and beautiful with the amazing waves crashing against the rock. Best time to visit is sunrise or sunset but still worth a visit. There is ample car parking, and two viewing platforms, and one that is wheelchair accessible. If you go just before dusk you may see some Swamp Wallabies hopping around.See more..
4.5The Razorback(68 reviews) - Another great scenery Saturday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Geologic Formations
On the great ocean road... Can’t fault this great place and a chance to take so great pictures. Don’t be filled from the footpath and parking location, the area has at least 5 different points of interest to visit. Do your research and ready for some great walks See more..
To escape the bustle of city life a drive to this hidden beauty is a true therapy. Only 40 minutes out of Bendigo this provides hours of fun for the whole family. Exploring the natural caves and rocky outcrops in the fresh country air lifts the spirits and ticks the boxes for an easy workout. There are open areas for picnics and extensive walking tracks. The view from the top of the largest outcrops is breathtaking and on a clear day there is so much visual beauty it is a surprise there are so few people there but that is also a bonus for avoiding crowds.See more..

4.5Eagle Rock Marine Sanctuary(9 reviews) - Scenic Views Saturday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent 2-3 hours Beaches • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Geologic Formations
My wife and I walked to this place, after visiting the Light House, where we had parked our car. This place is very scenic and is definitely worth visiting. We could see it from the lookout near the Light House. The walking track itself is interesting. The tide was out, so we could walk around a large expanse of beach area.See more..
An amazing array of boulders that are a very short walk from car park. Out of this world. Look out for the lizards on the road in. We saw 5 separate lizards.

4.5Mount Major(7 reviews) - Great views Geologic Formations
Slightly hard to find but good walk up the mountain on the access road. Steady mid range climb - about 3km up and then same return. Views right out to the Alps - we could pick out Buffalo and Buller (amongst others). Basically 360 degree views. Open & dry with little tree cover so take the sunscreen, water & a hat!See more..
5.0Beechworth Cascades(5 reviews) - One of my favourite spots Bodies of Water • Geologic Formations
Located on Gorge Rd Beechworth For those who love natural water play for their kids than look no further than this amazing spot in Beechworth. Featuring numerous rock pools,mini waterfalls, flowing creeks and swimming holes this spot is a must see in the Beechworth area. The best spot to walk down to various waterfalls are on the right hand side but we also loved the area on left hand side under bridge. For the bushwalking enthusiast you can follow the Spring Creek walking trail from the magnificent Woolshed Falls DIRECTIONS: the first cascades we visited where under the bridge on Gorge Road on left hand side. We than went to the right hand side of creek about 100 metres further up. PARKING: 4-5 car spots on Gorge Road at bridge. We had to park a further 20mins up hill. Gorge Road is only one way so visit Cascades after you check out the historic Powder Magazine. TOILETS: located in town or at Woolshed Falls WARNING: very slippery under foot on rocks.See more..
A geological oddity which we'd never heard of, but upon hearing of them from a local did about a 40km backtrack to go visit. If you have no interest in stone-type things I wouldn't recommend, but for a sense of history and human insignificance, there are some interesting geological sites in the general area. Worth the time.See more..
Huge stump located at the entrance of Blackburn Park. Well worth a stop as it’s an extremely quirky attraction you probably won’t see anywhere else See more..
5.0Mount Hope(2 reviews) - Renowned rock climbing Geologic Formations

4.5Bishops Rock(2 reviews) - Huge waves on show Geologic Formations
The curiosity got the better of me after spying the sign saying Bishops Rock. You drive down a short narrow dirt road and come to a car park that offers great views of the huge waves below. Be careful though has road is very narrow See more..
4.0Monolith Track(2 reviews) - Rewarding short walk Hiking Trails • Geologic Formations Short walk in distance terms from the Lake Catani Camp ground or even shorter from the Park Office car park. Steep at the end but great views over the lake, with some forest and alpine meadow and Lake Catani, there and back in a couple hours is what it takes.See more..
The Lawrence Rocks are a group of two rocky islets, with an associated reef, just over 2 km south-east of Point Danger in western Victoria, Australia, and about 6 km south-east of the city of Portland. Geologically, the group is formed from the remnants of an extinct volcano, with the islets composed of basalt and tuff. The islets were sighted by Lieutenant James Grant on 5 December 1800 from the survey brig HMS Lady Nelson and named for Captain Effingham Lawrence, one of the Elder Brethren of Trinity House. This was the first look out that I went to at Portland... it was overcast but quite stunning.See more..
Great spot for the kids to climb all over or too have a picnic. Another hidden country victoria gem. TIP: Turn off Borung Hwy down Pinks Rd. Than turn Right down Pit Rd. Mostly dirt roadSee more..
Some may disagree but this lookout would challenge the original summit lookout as the place to take your photos from Mt Arapiles. Drive up Mt Arapiles Summit Rd and turn down Bluff Lookout Rd. Amazing spotSee more..
5.0Taylor's Rock(1 review) - Beautiful rock Geologic Formations Amazingly beautiful rock that should be listed under NATIMUK. Extremely easy to access as it’s right on Centenary Park rd. See more..
This area shows up on the google maps and finally I managed to make my way onto the road...one day I would like to return... the area is eerily beautiful as you drive through granite-strewn hills and volcanic plains linking the hamlets of Pyalong, Baynton, Toobarac and Lancefield. I wanted to take photos, but it's a tad awkward as this amazing landscape is all on private land and the owners of those parcels of land have signs to indicate it's private. That has probably occurred because of curious people such as myself not respecting the fences... ( Yes, I did respect them... I just didn't like them. :) ) Like megalithic monuments these large rock formations sit like they are waiting for for an artist to take up his easel and etch them into a painting. It's really quite a stunning drive and I would recommend it.See more..
2.0Natural Bridge(1 review) - Just a natural bridge Geologic Formations Nothing very special, if you pass it while hiking nice stop to rest for a few minutes. Would not go there just for this.See more..
4.0Shortlands Bluff(1 review) - Shortlands Bluff Geologic Formations Visited on Saturday 15th February, this is another great spot to view the entrance to Port Phillip Bay and the lighthouse there. Easy to get to on foot with a car park close by.See more..
