Discover the incredible countryside, twisting roads and beautiful
coastline on this round trip from Melbourne. It's world renown
as one of the ultimate coast roads and if you add in the natural
beauty of the lookouts and waterfalls of the Grampians National
Park and the old fashioned towns and charms of the Goldfields
you have an unforgettable short tour...
The
Great Ocean Road - Famous as one of the most scenic coastal
drives in the world, words can't describe the wonderful scenery
on this 280km stretch of road close to Melbourne. The road twists
and winds as soon as you set your wheels on it! There are plenty
of small coastal towns to stop for lunch and a coffee and with
fantastic ocean lookouts on one side and the greenery of the lovely
Otway Ranges on the other the views and riding don't get any better.
It takes longer than you might expect to ride along this road
as there's so much to see. Take a walk in the temperate rainforest
at Maits Rest and visit the 12 Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, the Grotto,
London Bridge, The Arch - the list oges on! Keep an eye out for
koalas in the roadside trees but don't forget to watch the road
as well as the spectacular views! Every motorcyclist should ride
this road at least once in their life.
Note that if you decide on the 4 day, 3 night trip we can organise
two nights on the Great Ocean Road or give you a full day in the
Grampians National Park. This is another area that needs at least
half a day to explore....
Grampians
National Park - after riding along the Great Ocean Road
you'll turn north to the lovely Grampians National Park. This
area of granite highlands is jam packed with wildlife, superb
lookouts and beautiful waterfalls.
The Visitor Centre at Halls Gap is incredibly interesting and
will give you an overview of the area. By the time you've ridden
and taken a a short walk to the two main lookouts and perhaps
walked to the base of one of the waterfalls you'll need at least
a half day there. If you are on the 3 day trip this can be the
morning before you ride back to Melbourne but ideally the four
day trip gives you the day to take in the sights and see the area
properly.
Goldfields - On the way back
to Melbourne take in the quaint, old fashioned towns of Castlemaine
and Daylseford with their lovely bakeries and cafes. The beautiful
countryside sweeps by and makes for a leisurely ride back to the
city.

There is no difference in costs if you
ride alone or with a pillion.
N.B. This tour can be adjusted to suit your timescales and preferences
