5 days
Melbourne To Adelaide
Day 1. Melbourne to Apollo Bay. Approx 185 km (115 miles), 2.5 hours. Arrive in Melbourne and collect your rental vehicle. Make your way to Apollo Bay through Geelong and on to Torquay. This is where the Great Ocean Road begins its journey westward.
Continue on to Apollo Bay with its wide crescent shaped sandy beach, rolling green Otway hills and laid back lifestyle. While farming and fishing are central to the local economy, Apollo Bay is continuing to build its reputation as a holiday village.
Day 2. Apollo Bay to Port Fairy. Approx 190 km (188 miles) 2.5 hours. Depart Apollo Bay and continue along the Great Ocean Road that travels through the Otway National Park.
The Great Ocean Road leaves the Otways at Princetown and hugs the rugged coast through to the Port Campbell National Park. On your way to Port Fairy visit the quaint town of Koroit, where Irish immigrant farmers originally settled. The unique fishing village of Port Fairy is one of Victoria's earliest ports and many homes and other buildings of last century have been preserved.
Day 3. Port Fairy to Grampians National Park. Approx 175 km (109 miles), 2 hours, 15 minutes. From Port Fairy, travel to the Grampians National Park and Halls Gap. The scenic Grampians National Park is one of Victoria's largest and most accessible National Parks. It is home to the biggest collection of Koori rock art in the state, and is well known for its wildflowers, striking rock formations, 200 species of bird life, panoramic lookouts and well maintained network of 50 walking tracks.
Day 4. Halls Gap to Naracoorte or Coonawarra. Approx 260 km (161 miles), 3 hours, 15 minutes. Depart Halls Gap today through the Grampians National Park crossing the border to Naracoote or Coonawarra. The nearby lakes and waterways are perfect for fishing and enjoying the distant views of The Grampians.
Day 5. Naracoorte or Coonawarra to Adelaide. Approx 293 km (182 miles) 3.5 hours. Depart this morning and continue travelling north to Adelaide. Drop off your rental vehicle and depart Adelaide.
