Tour 3
Twin cities natural wonderland

14 days Melbourne-Great Ocean Road-Sydney-Phillip Island-Melbourne

Experience the natural, cultural and historic beauty of Victoria en-route to the glamour and spectacle of Sydney’s harbour.

Riding out from Melbourne, Australia’s second largest city, you’ll tour the winding Great Ocean road, world famous for its incredible coastal views, unique rock formations and welcoming towns.

The Grampians, a national park, rugged mountain range and home to more than 1000 native plants, awaits you. From Hall’s Gap you meander through Victoria’s gold country to the by-gone steam paddle-boat city of Echuca.

Continuing along the mighty Murray river, you head to Corryong in the foothills of the snow country. Up into Victoria’s winter wonderland, even more impressive in summer, you wind through the alpine roads of Mount Hotham and Cooma, down to Australia’s premier city, Sydney. After a rest day exploring all Sydney has to offer, the coastal highway beckons to Bateman’s Bay. Back into the majestic alps to Jindabyne, then descend to Lakes Entrance.

The inspiring lakes and wilderness of east Gippsland guides you to its jewel, Wilson’s Promontory national park, the southernmost tip of Australia’s mainland. Phillip Island is the home of the nightly penguin parade. Then the adult playground of Melbourne awaits you.
