Let’s dive into some of the must-see destinations that ANT Touring will take you to this summer.
A Coastal Odyssey: The Great Ocean Road
The Great Ocean Road is a globally renowned route that hugs the southern coastline, offering a tapestry of scenic beauty and wildlife encounters. This tour invites travellers to experience the magic of iconic landmarks like the Twelve Apostles, the towering limestone stacks sculpted by time and tides.
Beyond the famous sites, the road reveals a world of hidden treasures. Stroll along the pristine beaches of Torquay, admire the rugged cliffs at Castle Cove, and wander through lush rainforests in the Great Otway National Park. Along the way, visitors might encounter playful koalas at Kennett River or spot kangaroos grazing in their natural habitat.
These moments are enhanced by guided stops at picturesque towns like Lorne and Apollo Bay, where visitors can savour local cuisine, browse artisan shops, or simply relax by the sea. ANT Touring ensures a seamless experience, so you can fully embrace the journey without worrying about logistics.
The Grampians: Where History and Nature Collide
As the tour transitions inland, the grandeur of the Grampians National Park comes into view. This ancient mountain range, with its dramatic peaks and expansive valleys, offers a stark yet beautiful contrast to the coastal landscapes.
The Grampians are not just about stunning scenery; they’re a living cultural treasure. Rock art sites like Bunjil’s Shelter tell the stories of the First Nations people who have called this land home for thousands of years. Stops at the Brambuk Aboriginal Cultural Centre provide deeper insights into their traditions and connection to the land.
Short walks to lookouts such as Baroka Lookout and Reid’s Lookout reward visitors with panoramic views that stretch to the horizon. Meanwhile, the cascading beauty of McKenzie Falls offers a serene moment amidst the wilderness.
Moments of Comfort and Culinary Delight
ANT Touring goes beyond the ordinary by blending adventure with luxury. At the end of each day, travellers retreat to thoughtfully chosen accommodations that offer comfort and breathtaking surroundings. Whether it’s a private villa overlooking the Southern Ocean or a cozy lodge at the foot of Mount Sturgeon, these settings allow for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Dining on the tour is an experience in itself. Guests can savour gourmet meals featuring fresh, local ingredients. From a two-course dinner at a scenic coastal restaurant to a five-course degustation at the award-winning Royal Mail Hotel in Dunkeld, every meal is a celebration of Victoria’s culinary excellence.
A Journey of Wildlife and Discovery
Victoria’s natural beauty extends to its diverse wildlife. The Great Ocean Road and Grampians regions are teeming with native species. Koalas, kangaroos, emus, and vibrant parrots are just some of the animals that might make an appearance during the journey.
The tour also ventures into unique geological formations, such as the extinct volcanic crater at Tower Hill Game Reserve, where visitors can observe wildlife thriving in this unusual landscape. Every encounter adds to the sense of connection with nature that defines this adventure.
