Day 1:Melbourne - Warrnambool, the Great Ocean Road

Meet your travel director and join the group this morning in Melbourne. Open the one-week tour with a scenic journey along the Great Ocean Road fringed with brash orange beaches and quaint coastal villages. Of course, you will not miss the Twelve Apostles, the nearby Loch Ard Gorge and London Bridge - a set of spectacular rock formations rising majestically from the wild Southern Ocean. Late in the day, arrive in the rural town of Warrnambool.

Day 2:Warrnambool - Naracoorte

Explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Budj Bim Cultural Landscape, home to one of the world's oldest known aquaculture systems. Discover how the Gunditjmara people ingeniously transformed ancient volcanic landscapes into a sophisticated network of eel traps and waterways over 6,000 years ago.

Later on, make a stop at the Blue Lake, a famous crater lake magically changing its color from colder steel grey to vibrant cobalt blue when summer comes and vice versa when autumn comes.

Continue to the Coonawarra wine region and taste the world-renowned Cabernet Sauvignon produced on its "terra rossa" soil. Before arriving in Naracoorte, you will also explore the Alexandra Cave with a local expert.
