{"product_id":"great-ocean-road","title":"Great Ocean Road","description":"\u003cp\u003eReturned soldiers built the Great Ocean Road as a war memorial, cutting 237 km along Victoria's surf coast between the wars. It runs past the Twelve Apostles, still standing offshore. We draw it from real map data, matched to the road itself. The route is verified against the real road, and your poster ships straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake it yours: 17 art styles, 19 colourways and your own title, with the poster redrawing live as you pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiclée-printed at 300 dpi on 200 gsm matte art paper. Framed posters come in black, white or natural timber, ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preview is the finished poster. What you approve on screen is exactly what we print, with no proof to wait on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe route\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe road runs west out of Torquay along the surf coast, climbs into rainforest through the Otway Ranges, then drops back to sea level at Princetown for the limestone stacks.  More than 3,000 returned soldiers cut it by hand between 1919 and 1932, working with picks and shovels and blasting the harder rock faces; several died on the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrivers paid a toll to cross it until the state cleared the construction debt in October 1936 and removed the toll gate, handing over the finished road as a memorial to the fallen.  The coast keeps changing after the road opened: London Bridge, one of the offshore stacks, lost its landward arch to the sea on 15 January 1990, stranding two tourists on the outer span for three hours until a police helicopter lifted them off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStand at the Twelve Apostles at dusk with the fog closing in off the Southern Ocean and the same erosion is still working, quietly, under your feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade for someone who drove it. Or for your own wall, because you did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelated routes: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/gibb-river-road\"\u003eGibb River Road\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/great-alpine-road\"\u003eGreat Alpine Road\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/milford-road\"\u003eMilford Road\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowsing for a gift? \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/trip-you-still-talk-about\"\u003ethe trip you still talk about\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"You Went There","offers":[{"title":"A3 \/ Unframed","offer_id":43783093747786,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-A3","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 \/ Black frame","offer_id":43792081223754,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-A3-BLK","price":139.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 \/ White frame","offer_id":43792081256522,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-A3-WHT","price":139.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 \/ Natural frame","offer_id":43792081289290,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-A3-NAT","price":139.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 \/ Unframed","offer_id":43783093780554,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-A2","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 \/ Black frame","offer_id":43792081322058,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-A2-BLK","price":175.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 \/ White frame","offer_id":43792081354826,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-A2-WHT","price":175.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 \/ Natural frame","offer_id":43792081387594,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-A2-NAT","price":175.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 \/ Unframed","offer_id":43783093813322,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-A1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 \/ Black frame","offer_id":43792081420362,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-A1-BLK","price":235.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 \/ White frame","offer_id":43792081453130,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-A1-WHT","price":235.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 \/ Natural frame","offer_id":43792081518666,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-A1-NAT","price":235.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24 \/ Unframed","offer_id":43783093846090,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-18x24","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24 \/ Black frame","offer_id":43792081584202,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-18x24-BLK","price":185.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24 \/ White frame","offer_id":43792081616970,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-18x24-WHT","price":185.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24 \/ Natural frame","offer_id":43792081649738,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-18x24-NAT","price":185.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 \/ Unframed","offer_id":43783093878858,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-24x36","price":124.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 \/ Black frame","offer_id":43792081682506,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-24x36-BLK","price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 \/ White frame","offer_id":43792081715274,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-24x36-WHT","price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 \/ Natural frame","offer_id":43792081748042,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-24x36-NAT","price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital \/ Unframed","offer_id":43796093796426,"sku":"MP-great-ocean-road-DIGITAL","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/5697\/2106\/files\/mpcard_c3_great-ocean-road.png?v=1785108071","url":"https:\/\/youwentthere.com\/products\/great-ocean-road","provider":"You Went There","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
