We travel through the picturesque Adelaide Hills, crossing the mighty Murray River (Australia’s longest river system) and passing through South Australian country towns to our destination, the magnificent Grampians National Park. We spend the afternoon hiking at Hollow Mountain & the amazing MacKenzie Falls, finishing the day with breathtaking sunset views from The Balconies and Reeds Lookout. Overnight is at Halls Gap, in the ‘Heart of the Grampians’.

Start the morning with a challenging hike to the ‘Pinnacle’, exploring the natural wonders and breathtaking views this national park has to offer, before heading south to the coast & Warrnambool for a chance to view whales (seasonal). The renowned Great Ocean Road beckons for us to explore its beauty. You will see the Bay of Islands, Bay of Martyrs, London Bridge and Loch Ard Gorge before enjoying sunset over the Twelve Apostles. Stay overnight in the coastal township of Princetown.

We take the Gibson Steps down to the beach for another look at the Twelve Apostles and then spend time at the Otway Fly (a 25 meter high elevated tree top walk). Continuing on we pass through the magnificent cool temperate rainforests of the Otway National Park and onto the coastal township of Apollo Bay where we break for lunch. Hugging the coastline we pass through Lorne, stop in search of Koalas, visit world famous Bells Beach and take a shopping break at Torquay; home of Quicksilver and Rip Curl. After clearing the shops of bargains we continue on to Melbourne arriving early evening.
