FIRST-CLASS | SELF-DRIVE: The drive from Melbourne to Adelaide is stunning. Enjoy the scenery as you embark on the Great Ocean Road; see the Twelve Apostles, explore Grampians National Park and visit Coonawarra.
Australia’s most spectacular drive awaits you just west of Melbourne. This 5 day trip takes you along the Great Ocean Road and on to the Grampians National Park and Coonawarra wine district.
The Great Ocean Road is a popular day trip from Melbourne… but why rush? See the Loch Ard Gorge, Bells Beach, London Arch and the famous Twelve Apostles at a more leisurely pace with an overnight stay in Apollo Bay. Then leave the coastline in Port Fairy, stopping in at Tower Hill Wildlife Park to see koalas and kangaroos.
At the Grampians, you can enjoy stunning mountain views and invigorating walks through native forest, all while learning about Victoria’s fascinating Aboriginal heritage. Cross the border into South Australia, home to many of Australia’s best wine regions including Coonawarra. Visit the local wineries, then relax by the nearby lakes and waterways before returning your vehicle in Adelaide.
