You can travel all over the world, but you will never see scenery like you see in Victoria. The Great Ocean Road with its beaches and country side separated by a winding road. You can enjoy the sites whether in Winter or Summer. More

We were picked up at our Holiday Inn on Flinders and spent the next 14 hours with a terrific guide seeing incredible scenery, wildlife and country. Our cost was only $99 per person and it... More

There are a lot of panoramic ponints and the drive is really enjoyable, the ocean roaring, the sun the birds! driving is very pleasant! no traffic at all by the way! There are many beaches and places to eat along the way. The negative point is that I wanted to stop every 5 minutes to take a picture! If you... More

Before traveling to Australia, I planned on taking the Great Ocean Road daytrip from Melbourne, and I had checked the reviews on TripAdvisor. The Bunyip tour operator had some bad reviews, though most were favorable. Based on a recommendation from one of the front desk personnel at my hotel, I decided to give Bunyip a try, so I signed up... More

Mention the Twelve Apostles and you think of Victoria's Great Ocean Road, but there is much, much more in the area. Visit Loch Ard Gorge where ships apprentice carpenter Tom Pearce helped passanger, Eva Carmichael ashore, the only survivors of the "Loch Ard" shipwreck.
