AM4 - Adelaide to Melbourne - Wildlife and Wetlands Tour
Duration: 4 Days, 3 Nights

Depart Adelaide. Wind your way up Mt Lofty to the summit for a panoramic view over Adelaide. Travel through Coorong National Park and its many lakes, with a variety of unique coastal wetlands. Shifting into 4WD we join the golden beach at Kingston, to travel along the water’s edge to Cape Jaffa, well known for its famous crayfish. Heading through some vineyards and more coastal National Parks we arrive late afternoon at Robe.

Overnight: Guichen Bay Motel, ROBE (DBB)

We head south along Lake George to some hidden corners of the rugged coastline towards Beachport. Leaving the coast we travel inland through dense pine forests and farmlands to Mt Gambier with its beautiful crater lakes, the most unusual Blue Lake changes colour twice a year. Crossing into Victoria via Cavendish to Grampians National Park, following back tracks to Halls Gap nestled amongst the ranges.

Overnight: Colonial Motor Inn, HALLS GAP (DBB)

Winding our way through the wilderness areas of the Grampians, we head south to Tower Hill National Park, where we have the opportunity to share close encounters with koalas and the other abundant wildlife in this area. Travelling through to Warnambool and Port Campbell National Park, where time and the powerful Southern Ocean have created some spectacular rock formations. We visit Loch Ard Gorge, the 12 Apostles, the remains of London Bridge and many more of the Great Ocean Road highlights.

After lunch we climb through the lush rainforest of the Ottway Ranges, with tall Mountain Ash and Beech forest, tree ferns lining cool mountain streams to Apollo Bay, and onwards to Skennes Creek Lodge for our overnight stay.

Overnight: Coastal Motel, APOLLO BAY (DBB)

We meander into the wilderness near Kennett River to enjoy some lush fauna and flora before following the Great Ocean Road along the cliff tops via Lorne and Anglesea. We leave the coast line to visit historic Geelong before joining the regular highway to Melbourne where we end our tour at lunch time.
