Itinerary

Day 1 - Adelaide to Grampians National Park


Travelling through the picturesque Adelaide Hills, we cross Australia’s king of rivers, the mighty Murray, and pass through some little South Australian country towns on our way to the Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park. Get your legs working this afternoon with hikes at Hollow Mountain and the amazing MacKenzie Falls. We’ll be rewarded with breathtaking sunset views from The Balconies and Reeds Lookout before we settle in at our overnight Grampians accommodation. (D)

Day 2 - Grampians National Park to Princetown, via the Great Ocean Road

Hiking to the Pinnacle is a challenge, but on the way you’ll experience breathtaking views of the national park. Next we head south to the coast and Warrnambool, where you’ll have the chance to spot whales (seasonal May-Oct). There’s a lot to explore along the famous Great Ocean Road, renowned for its beauty. Discover the Bay of Islands, Bay of Martyrs, London Bridge and Lock Ard Gorge before sunset over the Twelve Apostles – gorgeous! Stay overnight in the coastal township of Princetown. (BD)

Day 3 - Princetown to Melbourne

Start the day with an optional helicopter ride over the amazing 12 Apostles or walk down Gibson Steps to the beach to get a different angle of the limestone stacks and then we’ll spend some time at the Otway Fly, a 25 metre high elevated tree top walk. Continuing, we pass through the magnificent cool temperate rainforests of Otway National Park. We’ll stop for lunch (own expense) at the coastal town of Apollo Bay. Hugging the coastline, we pass through Lorne, before our next stop where we’ll search for koalas. Finally make our way into Melbourne and arrive in the early evening. (B)
