Description:

Spend 2 full days experiencing the natural splendor of Australia's southern coastline and getting up close to the creatures of the continent down under. Ride past the beaches and cliffs of the Great Ocean Road, visit a heritage farm, and watch the utterly charming Penguin Parade on Phillip Island.

Day 1

Set out from Melbourne for a ride along the breathtaking Great Ocean Road. Drive past seaside surf towns like Torquay and Lorne, and cut inland through the fern gullies and eucalyptus forests of Otway National Park.

Stop at lookout points to gaze over the dramatic sea cliffs and rock formations that rise up out of the Southern Ocean along the aptly named Shipwreck Coast, from the monolithic Twelve Apostles to the limestone stack of the Razorback at Loch Ard Gorge. Grab a bite to eat in laidback Apollo Bay or the fishing village of Port Campbell, and watch the Australian film All the Rivers Run during the return drive to Melbourne.

Day 2

Ride to Moonlit Sanctuary on the Mornington Peninsula, where Aussie critters like koalas, wombats, dingoes, and Tasmanian devils roam the grounds. From there, head to a heritage farm on Churchill Island. You can enjoy lunch as you soak up the bucolic ambiance, or get in on the action at the working farm with sheep shearing, cow milking, or cattle herding demonstrations. Stroll through homestead gardens before heading to the Wonka-esque Panny's Amazing World of Chocolate for a sweet snack.

As evening falls, make your way to Summerlands Beach on Phillip Island and find a spot on the boardwalk for the Penguin Parade. Watch as hundreds of tiny fairy penguins scurry across the sand, returning to their rookeries after a day of fishing, before your own return trip to Melbourne.
