Highlights of Melbourne to Adelaide - 2 days

Melbourne - Great Otway National Park - Halls Gap. Today, you will be collected from the Immigration Museum at 7:35 AM as we set off from Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road. This famous drive offers dramatic coastal scenery and leads us to the striking limestone stacks known as the 12 Apostles.

Our journey continues with a stop on the Surf Coast, where we enjoy morning tea and sweet treats at the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie. From here, we travel inland to the Great Otway National Park to walk among towering ancient trees in its lush rainforest.

We then make our way to the Shipwreck Coast, where we hear stories of its dramatic past. A visit to the secluded beach at Loch Ard Gorge is followed by more time to admire the impressive 12 Apostles from different viewpoints.

Throughout the day, we also pause to observe native Australian wildlife before travelling onwards. By late evening, we arrive at our accommodation and settle in for the night.
