Useful Information
Grapevines on Mornington Peninsula
Experience the thrill of a classic road trip along the Great Ocean Road, one of the world's most scenic coastal routes. Take in spectacular views as the historic route winds along Victoria's southwest coast, passing long golden beaches, rugged sandstone cliffs and eucalypt rainforest.
Pass the beach resort villages of Lorne and Apollo Bay and take in panoramic coastal views from the Cape Otway Lighthouse, the only lighthouse along the Great Ocean Road that is still possible to visit. The route also takes you among the soaring eucalypt trees of the Otway rainforest, and to the offshore sandstone stacks called the Twelve Apostles. Hear the tragic tales of the Loch Ard Gorge and discover why this spectacularly wild part of Victoria is known as the Shipwreck Coast. Then, enjoy a traditional Australian barbeque lunch.
Mornington Peninsula Day Trip:
After exploring the Great Ocean Road, take another day trip (within seven days) to Melbourne's beach getaway on the Mornington Peninsula, only an hour from the city.
Visit a prestigious winery and enjoy complimentary wine tasting and a light lunch before losing yourself in a traditional hedge maze at Ashcombe Maze. Wander through sweet-smelling lavender gardens and see the rose hedges, then visit Murray’s Lookout to admire the spectacular views over the coast before returning to Melbourne.
Melbourne Attraction Pass:
Then see the best of Melbourne, and save time and money with the Melbourne Attraction Pass. Visit three of Melbourne's premier attractions -- the Melbourne Aquarium and Eureka Skydeck 88 and either the Old Melbourne Gaol or the good ship Polly Woodside. Tickets are issued at departure of the Great Ocean Road Tour: the pass allows single entry to each attraction and is valid for six months from the date of collection.
Itinerary
See the amazing world of aquatic animals such as sandbar whaler sharks, grey nurse sharks, Port Jackson sharks, king penguins, gentoo penguins, freshwater sawfish, smooth stingrays, green sea turtles and big-bellied seahorses at Australia's largest aquarium.
Eureka Skydeck 88
Enjoy unparalleled views of Melbourne and surrounding regions from the top of the Eureka Tower on the banks of the Yarra River. Take in 360-degree floor-to-ceiling views of Melbourne, equally brilliant by day or with twinkling lights at night.
Old Melbourne Gaol
Take a step back in time and walk the road to the gallows of a 19th-century prison at Old Melbourne Gaol, built in 1839. The colony’s most dangerous criminals were held here, and more than 130 hangings were carried out, including Australia's most famous criminal, Ned Kelly. Visit the former watch house and experience being arrested in an environment unchanged since the police and inmates left in the mid-1920s.
Polly Woodside
Step aboard the 19th-century sailing ship Polly Woodside, moored in central Melbourne's South Wharf precinct in a specially designed dry dock.. Imagine life at sea as you tour the decks of this beautifully restored three-masted barque, built in Belfast in 1885.
