Great Ocean Road
Look for koalas sleeping between trees; this is one of the most thrilling roads in Australia.

The best viewing spot is along Lighthouse Road in Cape Otway, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) off the regular tourist route from the town of Apollo Bay. Koalas are everywhere here, but they camouflage themselves well, making them difficult to spot at first glance.

After celebrities like Hugh Jackman and Martin Clunes posted selfies with these little kangaroos online, taking selfies with them has become a trend.
