There's two places you need to visit when going to Melbourne: Great Ocean Road and Philip Island. You can go to both place by day trip booking through nearest tour agency. HW brought us to a chinese travel agency for the day trip. It's cheaper compare to online booking (A$ 49 for Great Ocean Road; A$ 67 for Philip Island)
--Great Ocean Road--
We had been stopped at many visit points such as Grampians National Park, 12 Apostles, Loch Ard George, London Arch (London Bridge), and Bell Beach. Along the trip, you will see beaches and seas. This is very nice for natural lovers. I heard a gang of teenagers complaints along the trip , " all stopping points also beaches and seas, is there any difference???" For those who are not natural lovers, you better think twice before join the trip. Otherwise, you will feel wasted. But for me, I really feel it worth because it really nice.
Bell Beach is famous for surfing activities. Even though is winter, we can still see surfers at the beach. Wondering do they freeze after surf???

The Twelve Apostles are a collection of natural limestone stacks standing just off shore in the Port Campbell National Park, on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Currently, there are only 7 apostles left because others have fallen due to the waves continually erode their bases. If you want see clearer, you can take helicopter ride (fees applied depends on the minutes of ride)
Loch Ard George is named after the clipper ship Loch Ard, which ran aground on nearby Muttonbird Island on 1 June 1878 approaching the end of a three-month journey from England to Melbourne. It is a visible example of the process of erosion in action.
London Arch aka London Bridge is another natural arch in the Port Campbell National Park. Previously, it is famous for couples as dating place. According to the tour guide, the arch closest to the shoreline collapsed and there was a couple stranded on the outer part and they been rescued. It's a song you can sing when you go there. It's a simple & nice song that children also know to sing... "London Bridge is falling down, falling down...." =)
