Melbourne to Kangaroo Island Adventure

On this 11-day Aussie adventure, you’ll discover the everchanging landscapes of the south – from Melbourne to Kangaroo Island. Start in the foodie capital of Melbourne, then see Hanging Rock, Daylesford and Ballarat. Follow the Great Ocean Road and be awed by the rugged coastline, vast ocean expanse and yellow cliffs falling into the sea. From Apollo Bay, continue the scenic drive to Warrnambool to the iconic 12 Apostles. Learn First Nations history in the Grampians, sample bush tucker and chase waterfalls with free time to get active. Wander Adelaide, then journey to Kangaroo Island (look out for dolphins!). Meet some penguins, kangaroos, sea lions and wallabies, learn about the local farming and art cultures, then kick back on the sandy beaches. What more could you want out of a coastal adventure?
