We had a delightful day with 26 other travellers from around the world. A joyful experience travelling via Colac and stop through Simpson onto the Great Ocean Road. A fabulous time at the 12 Apostles on a truly magical day. On to the rainforest Melba Gully delightful, stopped and spotted some koalas, very special even as a local person. Fun in Apollo Bay and a Vegemite ice cream, new for me. Beautiful drive along the Great Ocean road, stopping at eastern look out . A long but very enjoyable day.

Joel is a great guide and I loved the small group experience instead of a big bus. I highly recommend this one :)
