    Driving is a pleasure on Australia's scenic, safe and uncrowded roads. We usually arrange for you to be met at the airport and taken to your hotel, where a hire car will be delivered. Embark on one of the world's most scenic drives including the Great Ocean Road or Gibb River Road.

  • Wine regions

    Australia is fast-becoming one of the most highly-regarded wine producers in the world, and with the likes of the beautiful and picturesque Barossa, Yarra and Hunter valleys, as well as Margaret River region to explore, we can understand why.

The Grampians National Park

Australia

From the summit of Mount William, the soaring ranges of the Grampians seem to roll into the distance like an endless series of breaking waves.

Spanning close to two hundred thousand hectares the region is accessible by foot, car or canoe.

Exploring the Grampians National Park

Marked trails lead through plains of riotously coloured wildflowers to Aboriginal rock art sites or the magnificent MacKenzie Falls.

The Wonderland Loop Walk, although a little strenuous in places, takes you through the Silent Street Ravine to a string of rock formations and along a curving sandstone rock face called ‘The Elephant’s Hide’, with plenty of natural rock pools for a refreshing dip along the way.

Our favourite trail is to Mount Wudjub-Guyan where the massive sandstone outcrops and eucalypt-covered slopes offer uplifting views. There is also a beautiful and tranquil walk through tall forests to Silverband Falls. With its natural beauty and indigenous wildlife, the Grampians are simply outstanding.
