Overview
Experience the majestic splendour of the magnificent Grampians with Walkabout Gourmet Adventures. This unique area offers spectacular mountain scenery with peaks over 1000 metres and numerous species of wildlife. In Spring the National Park is ablaze with an endless variety of wildflowers - it is truly is a botanical paradise. Before European settlement in Australia, a large part of the Grampians was occupied by Aboriginals. Today, the region contains the greatest concentration of Aboriginal rock paintings in Victoria.
The Port Campbell and Otway National Parks are a perfect location for some fascinating coastal walking-explore long stretches of unspoilt coastline and walk up into the rainforest hinterland which provides shelter for an array of unique wildlife. You visit the famous 12 Apostles, huge limestone pillars worn and weathered by the stormy southern ocean. The magnificent Melba Gully is the jewel of the Otway National Park and renowned for its dense forests of Myrtle Beech.
In these marvellous regions, you stay "in the best of both worlds" - dramatic mountain scenery combined with spectacular coastal landscape. Stay in delightful accommodation and enjoy delicious cuisine from these different regions.
