Overview
Geelong will be our first stop where you have time to stroll along the beautifully transformed waterfront. We start our journey along the Great Ocean Road at Torquay, stopping at various places along the coast including Bells Beach and our scenic morning tea location. Our focus then turns to Australian native wildlife as we observe Eastern Grey Kangaroos in the wild. While winding our way along Great Ocean Road we stop to view sites such as the 'Memorial Arch' and tell you of the intriguing story of this incredible road.
In Lorne, with its abundance of cafes and restaurants, is a perfect place for a lunch break. After lunch we cruise along the spectacular road, stopping at Kennett River we can see koalas and many colourful native birds in the wild. At Maits Rest we take you on a guided walk through a rainforest gully to see the world's tallest flowering plants and prehistoric trees. Your private self contained villa at Beacon Point Ocean View Villas is set high on a hill overlooking the Southern Ocean.
Our journey on our second day starts after breakfast with us travelling onto the 'Shipwreck Coast'. Our first stop is at Castle Cove where your guide will introduce you to the strong Aboriginal heritage of the region and the dinosaurs bones that were uncovered in 1987. The 12 Apostles are Icons of Australia's natural beauty. We arrive as the stacks are lit with the morning sun making them perfect for photos and crowd free. We then visit 'Loch Ard Gorge', the site of the most famous 19th century Australian shipwreck. While hearing the tale you will be able to see and hold some original artefacts and photos from the 'Loch Ard' contained in our treasure chests.
After lunch in small fishing village of Port Campbell we travel to a lesser known but highly impressive area of the Great Ocean Road west of Port Campbell. This section takes in London Bridge, Bay of Islands, Bay of Martyrs, and Boat Bay before we journey back towards Melbourne arriving there around 6pm
