Itinerary:
Day 1
  • Depart Melbourne and head to Tower Hill. (3 hour drive - very boring so talk to your new friends and ask to play cool tunes). We will stop along the way for free tea, coffee and biscuits.
  • Arrive at Tower Hill for lunch (will stop at shops first so you can buy stuff). Tower Hill is a beautiful sunken volcano home to loads of Kangaroos, Koalas and Emus.
  • (In Winter only) After lunch we head to Logan’s Beach to see whales that come here to nurse their young each winter.
  • We then drive for 30 minutes to the Great Ocean Road and look at loads of great sights - Bay of Islands - Bay of Martyrs - The Grotto - London Bridge (If the weather allows, we have plenty of time for a swim at one of these spots.)
  • Then we do something really cool. We will head up to the 12 Apostles for an amazing sunset experience.
  • We then wait around 30 minutes to see the penguins returning from their day's fishing.
  • Then it is an easy 10 minute drive to your free hostel where we will have our free BBQ feast. (In summer time, dinner will be before sunset)

Day 2
  • We leave at 5am after your free breakfast. Just kidding, we will leave around 8 and drive 10 minutes to beautiful Loch Ard Gorge.
  • Now it’s back to the 12 Apostles to see them again in daylight. Here is also your opportunity for a helicopter flight (optional but highly recommended $70). • Then it’s off to Gibson’s Steps to see one of the Apostles from the beach.
  • 1 hour drive (lovely - stay awake) follows up towards Maits Rest where we will do a rainforest walk (guided)
  • Lunch in awesome seaside town of Apollo Bay
  • Great scenery all afternoon as we wind our way towards Bells’ Beach driving the original stretch of road hugging the ocean all the way (about 2 hours of stunning driving, so no sleeping!!!)
  • Visit the "Round the Twist" Lighthouse for our TV-crazed British and Irish backpackers.
  • Watch the best surfers showing off at Bells Beach
  • Optional stop at Torquay (home to Rip Curl and Quicksilver) for shopping
  • Back to Melbourne (1½ hour drive- very boring-sleep away). Arrive at approx. 6-7pm
