Between Adelaide to Melbourne stretches the treacherous shipwreck coastline, rugged mountain ranges and miles of natural bushland rich in wildlife and Aboriginal history. Explore the wild south-west and discover the hidden treasures of this region.

During the three day trip you will see the world famous Great Ocean Road, Loch Ard Gorge, Aboriginal Culture, Australian wildlife, the 12 Apostles, London Bridge, the Grampians National Park and do a guided walk through Otway’s Rainforest.

What a fabulous trip and a great way to explore The Grampians and Great Coast Road. Misty, our guide, was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and enthusiast that the time passed so quickly. We were a group of mixed ages that melded together assisted by Misty. We experienced and saw so much in its natural environment.
Wonderful Experience

We’re so glad we took this trip by bus rather than flying from Adelaide to Melbourne. The sheer variety of physical landscapes was stunning: mountains, rock pools, tidal beach, cliffs and rainforests were all experienced. Janet (JDog), our guide was wonderful; she was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Her playlist for the bus was also great. I have to admit that I was concerned about the accommodations and meals after reading previous reviews. I’m not sure what others were expecting , but we were pleasantly surprised. Both hotels had comfy beds with crisp, clean sheets. Sure the rooms were dated, but the basics were fine and we knew we weren’t paying enough to stay at the Ritz. Those that chose the hostel option were treated to a lovely lodge like setting. There was more than enough food at the breakfasts and dinner, and I thought there was a pretty good variety for vegetarians. I got the general consensus that our group all had a great time.
