About this experience
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. Of course, you could fly directly between Adelaide and Melbourne but why would you want to miss all the treasures of the south. 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.
