What to expect
Expect a mix of scenic driving and moderate walking across three days. Day one takes you along the Great Ocean Road with photo stops at lookouts and coastal villages before settling in Warrnambool. Day two combines a visit to Tower Hill's volcanic crater and wildlife-watching, followed by a 6.5km trek to the Pinnacles for ridge-top views, then arrival in Halls Gap. Your final morning explores Grampians National Park's waterfalls and mountain scenery before the afternoon drive to Adelaide, arriving around 7:30pm. All walks are on natural terrain—uneven ground and elevation changes require steady fitness.
