The
Great Ocean Road - Famous as one of the most scenic coastal
drives in the world, words can't describe the wonderful scenery
on this 280km stretch of road close to Melbourne. The road twists
and winds as soon as you set your wheels on it! There are plenty
of small coastal towns to stop for lunch and a coffee and with
fantastic ocean lookouts on one side and the greenery of the lovely
It takes longer than you might expect to drive along this road
as there's so much to see. Take a walk in the temperate rainforest
at Maits Rest and visit the 12 Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, the Grotto,
London Bridge, The Arch - the list oges on! Keep an eye out for
koalas in the roadside trees but don't forget to watch the road

Note that if you decide on the 4 day, 3 night trip we can organise
two nights on the Great Ocean Road or give you a full day in the
Grampians National Park. This is another area that needs at least
half a day to explore....
Grampians
National Park - after driving along the Great Ocean Road
you'll turn north to the lovely Grampians National Park. This
area of granite highlands is jam packed with wildlife, superb
lookouts and beautiful waterfalls.
The Visitor Centre at Halls Gap is incredibly interesting and will give you an overview of the area. By the time you've driven and taken a a short walk to the two main lookouts and perhaps walked to the base of one of the waterfalls you'll need at least a half day there. If you are on the 3 day trip this can be the morning before you drive back to Melbourne but ideally the four day trip gives you the day to take in the sights and see the area properly.
Goldfields - On the way back to Melbourne take in the quaint, old fashioned towns of Castlemaine and Daylseford with their lovely bakeries and cafes. The beautiful countryside sweeps by and makes for a leisurely drive back to the city.
