One Day Great Ocean Road

Schedule

After a pickup from your city hotel, we travel over the infamous Westgate Bridge towards

Victoria’s south-west coast. We pass through Geelong, the second largest city in Victoria, before reaching the start of the Great Ocean Road in Torquay. Our first stop for the day is at Anglesea where we observe wild grey kangaroos at the local golf club. Lorne is our next stop for some morning tea and a chance to take in the beauty of the Southern Ocean and surrounding foothills.

Not far from Lorne we introduce our first treasure chest on the Great Ocean Road. With the use of old newspaper clippings and photos we recall the feats of the people involved in creating the road. Kennett River is the next stop allowing you the opportunity to see koalas in their natural environment. Lunch is at Apollo bay, enjoying some of the gourmet local produce.

On our way to the Twelve Apostles we pass an Aboriginal site dating back over 5000 years and relive the struggle of two different cultures when the white man arrived.

Dinosaur Cove is not far and also has a deep historical significance for the region. Just 16 years ago a new species of Dinosaur, dating back 100 million years was found here. We then arrive at the Shipwreck Coast and visit the amazing Twelve Apostles. Here your guide will explain their creation and constant reformation.

Not far is Loch Ard Gorge where in 1878 there was a tragic shipwreck. Only two people

survived and we bring the story to life handing around artifacts from the wreck while reading their diary notes on how they managed to survive.

We then turn for Melbourne traveling through some of Australia’s most fertile land and the world’s third largest Volcanic plain. We arrive back in Melbourne around 1900.
