The best of the Great Ocean Road from Teddy's Lookout

Standing at Teddy's Lookout, about 114 meters above sea level on the back mountain of Lorne, you will witness the ultimate reason why the Great Ocean Road is praised as "the most beautiful coastal road in the world". Looking from the railing, a road like an inky ribbon breaks out from the green barrier of the dense forest at the foot, winding around the rugged mountain with a powerful arc, and stretching towards the blue Southern Ocean. Below the road is a steep canyon with a depth of 100 meters. The silver-white crowns of the eucalyptus forest fill the gully like waves, and further away - the mouth of the Lorne River is like a piece of azure amber, quietly embedded between the cream-colored beach and the dark reef. Following the turn of the road, you can see that it snakes along the jagged sea cliffs, with thousands of piles of snow foam rolled up by the crashing waves on one side, and a primitive slope covered with ferns and banksia on the other side. A few cars passing by are as small as toys, drawing flowing silver dots against the huge background of mountains and sea, highlighting the grand scale of this miraculous road where human engineering and natural power dance together. On a sunny day, the color spectrum of the sea water gradually changes from emerald green near the shore to cobalt blue in the deep sea. When the sun shines through the gaps in the clouds, the asphalt surface of the road glows slightly, like an obsidian chain adorned on the folds of the earth. What you overlook here is not only the road itself, but also the concentration of the soul of the Great Ocean Road: ruggedness and tenderness, wilderness and civilization collide here, and every frame is an epic perspective composition created by the creator and the road builder. #summervacay#travel #familytravel #naturalwonders #oceanroad
