Overview
Day 1 We depart the city via the West Gate Bridge and discover rural Victoria before we make our first stop at Anglesea Golf course. Here you get your first introduction to the unique Australian fauna, the Eastern Grey Kangaroo, who usually are willing to pose for a photo! At Lorne we stop for morning tea and enjoy the scenery of the Southern Ocean and beautiful surrounds. Further along, at Kennet River, we take a detour and look for Koalas in their natural environment. We arrive at the township of Apollo Bay for lunch at 1300. After lunch, we continue our drive through the Otway National Park with its majestic Mountain Ash forest while learning of the rich Aboriginal heritage of the region and the early contact period with European settlers. While walking within the National Park you will have an opportunity to discover the peace and tranquility of a secluded tree fern gully in this superb rainforest. We then arrive at you 4 star accommodation set high on a hill with fantastic ocean views. This property offers the perfect environment to relax and unwind. Following dinner, we take you on a "Rainforest by Night" walk to see the magical glow worms (weather permitting). DAY 2 Enjoy breakfast before we continue our journey along Great Ocean Road to first stop, the famous Twelve Apostles. Load your camera and enjoy this spectacular coastline - also known as the Shipwreck Coast - while you hear of their creation and the continued reformation of the region. A short drive further along the coast takes us to Loch Ard Gorge, where the tragic story of the Loch Ard shipwreck will be brought to life for you, with extracts read out from the journal of the two survivors and original artifacts from the shipwreck handed around. After lunch at the seaside village of Port Campbell we visit some other local landmarks such as London Bridge, Bay of Martyrs and Bay of Islands before returning to Melbourne.
