  • The Great Ocean Road: from Where to Where?
    The Great Ocean Road: from where to where? © Rachel Faggetter In the genre of ‘scenic routes’ the Great Ocean Road on Victoria’s southwest coast is one of the best in the world. It has compelling beauty and drama, a high-energy coastline and it winds through a region of rich natural and cultural significance. Serious consideration should be given to proposing the Great Ocean Road for inscription on the World Heritage List as a cultural landscape of international importance. Among the 690 sites on the List, 14 are Australian, none of them in Victoria. Yet this paper suggests a paradox. In the context of contemporary values about conservation and sustainability, the Great Ocean Road would probably not be built. Mention of the Great Ocean Road stirs the imagination of many Australians. Spectacular landscapes and wild seas: shipwrecks, drama and tragedy; bushfires and landslides; summer holidays and winter bushwalking; sand, surf and swimming. Drivers think of the concentrated negotiation of narrow roads and passengers remember looking down at the waves and rocks waiting at the bottom of steep cliffs. Scenic lookouts abound. Scenic is an appropriate word, for this is a constructed landscape, a deliberate arrangement designed to enhance the drama and impact of the coastline as seen through the windscreen of a motor vehicle. The traditional custodians of this country are the Wauthurong, the people who harboured escapee William Buckley for 32 years from 1803. They camped in the creek valleys to harvest the rich seafood but made their tracks and trading routes along ridges and up into the hills.
