Natural Treasures Tours - 2 Day Great Ocean Road Tour
Day 1
Today, we travel to Geelong, stopping at the waterfront and the famous ‘Bollards’ at Eastern Beach. We continue onto Anglesea Golf Club to enjoy the wild Kangaroos roaming around. After morning tea at Lorne overlooking a very popular surf spot, we wind along the spectacular cliff top road stopping for photos and stories at the most scenic spots. At the Kennett River we get to spot wild Koalas before heading to Apoolo Bay for lunch.
After lunch we travel into the ‘Great Otway National Park’ and enjoy a 1km rainforest walk at ‘Maits Rest’ where you can find some of the best native forest in Australia. This lush forest dating back 100 million years is highly protected and has amazing examples of Mountain Ash Eucalyptus, Tree Ferns and Myrtle Beech. This is a truly amazing walk that is overlooked by many day tours.
Our 4-star accommodation tonight is set high on a hill overlooking the Southern Ocean near Apollo Bay. This is the perfect place to relax and unwind before dinner at the Apollo Bay Hotel. After dinner you will have the chance to see glowworms in the local rainforest.
Day 2
Our day starts with a continental breakfast in Apollo Bay. Our first stop is the famous 12 Apostles where you will hear about the creation and erosion that has shaped this spectacular coastline over the past 20 million years. The next stop is Loch Ard Gorge, where in 1878 the ‘Loch Ard’ carrying 54 people was wrecked with only 2 survivors. We tell of Tom and Eva’s struggle while reading their diary notes and handing around original artifacts from the ship
After lunching in the popular fishing village of Port Campbell, we continue our journey to London Bridge, Bay Of Islands Coastal Park, Boat Bay and Peterborough. These are all very scenic limestone features and are just as spectacular as the better known rock formations.
We return to Melbourne via an inland route travelling through Colac and Geelong. We arrive in Melbourne at around 6pm.
