Day 4: Dunkeld – Warrnambool
This morning you might like to sleep
in and enjoy leisurely breakfast. Or
for the early riser, join the ground’s
gardener for a guided walk through
their kitchen garden, which supplies
most of the hotel’s produce. Set on just
over an acre, it’s Australia’s largest
and most productive organic kitchen
garden.
We’ll head to the top of the
Grampians today at Halls Gap for a
Welcome to Country ceremony by the
local indigenous people at the Brambuk
Cultural Centre. The traditional people
of Gariwerd, the Djab Wurrung and
Jardwidjari, will teach you how to
throw a boomerang and then gather
local bush tucker for you to taste. See
spectacular natural rock formations,
waterfalls and panoramic views over
the Grampian Mountain range. Then
we head down the mountain to coastal
Warrnambool. Tonight it’s a Highlight
Dinner and Stage Show at Flagstaff
Hill, where you’ll not only learn about
the region’s maritime history, but
will experience it! Hotel: Deep Blue
Spa & Resort, Warrnambool. B HD
Day 5: Warrnambool – Lorne
Our departure today will be leisurely,
so why not take advantage of the
resort’s spa and massage services?
Be sure to have your camera ready as
we take one of Australia’s most iconic
road trips along the Great Ocean Road.
We’ll visit all the must-see sights and
stop at vantage points along the way,
including the Bay of Islands, London
Bridge, Loch Ard Gorge and of course
the Twelve Apostles. There will be some
free time for you to grab a bite for lunch
in the seaside town of Port Campbell
and for the adventurous, perhaps
a helicopter flight over the Twelve
Apostles may appeal (own expense).

Day 6: Lorne –
Mornington Peninsula
We continue this morning along
the last leg of the Great Ocean Road,
passing stunning coastline until we
arrive in the town of Torquay. It’s a
mecca for Australian surf life, so it’s
only fitting that we visit the Australian
Surfing Museum, for a guided tour to
learn of the culture and much-loved
pastime as we leave the Great Ocean
Road behind.
Then onwards to the
Bellarine Peninsula a wine-growing
region where we’ll indulge our taste
buds in a Be My Guest lunch and
wine tasting at the award-winning
Jack Rabbit Winery. A vehicle ferry
will then take us from Queenscliff to
the beautiful Mornington Peninsula.
Here we’ll visit the Green Olive farm
for some hands-on experience with
assistance from the farmers, enjoying
a taste of farm life and fresh produce
with a local guide before heading to
our accommodations. Tonight enjoy a
sumptuous dinner together at Linden
Tree Restaurant at your hotel. Hotel:
Lindenderry at Red Hill. B BG DW
Day 7: Mornington Peninsula –
Farewell from Melbourne
This morning after breakfast we head
back towards Melbourne and the
famous Melbourne Cricket Ground,
the MCG, affectionately referred to
by locals as the ‘G’. Explore its inner
sanctum, walk on the hallowed arena
and experience where legends play
with your guide. Your Inspiring Journey
is now coming to an end. Enjoy a
Farewell Lunch with your fellow travel
companions where you can look back
on the past week and raise a glass or
two to the wonderful memories and
great friends that have been made. B FL
