Great Ocean Road & The Grampians Holidays


australia
See the iconic Great Ocean Road, famous for its spectacular coastline and the rugged splendour of the Twelve Apostles. Best explored over a couple of days, there are idyllic overnight spots to choose from; the quaint old fishing village of Port Fairy, the sweeping sands of Apollo Bay, or pretty Warrnambool where you can spot migratory whales off the coast (Jun - Oct).

A scenic drive inland leads to the stunning Grampians National Park, a nature lover’s paradise. Visit the majestic Mackenzie Falls or head up to the famous Reeds Lookout to revel in the vast beauty of the park from its highest point. Halls Gap, the gateway to the national park, is teeming with wildlife: you’ll spot kangaroos, wallabies and curious emus wandering through the town.
