You will be exposed to an array of natural scenery as you travel through the Great Ocean Road. From rainforests & rivers, volcanoes & rugged coastline to close encounters with native animals, the final destination of Warrnambool is the heart of it all!

Amongst the Great Ocean Road is the Great Otway National Park roughly two hours drive from Warrnambool. In the Great Otway National Park you'll see thundering waterfalls and iridescent gorges and walk through the tops of ancient mossy trees. This park represents all that is special about the incredibly diverse Great Ocean Road as you wonder through the wet rainforests, the heathlands and woodlands to the fringe of the National Park, lined with the iconic rugged coast of South-West Victoria.

When you have completed your journey from the Great Ocean Road you will arrive in our beautiful sea-side city of Warrnambool. Follow the sweeping line of the Norfolk Pines & the sights of the Southern Ocean appear before you, it is there on the brink of the ocean where you'll find the Lady Bay Resort-our unique resort is the perfect gateway for your Great Ocean Road adventure!

Minutes from the Lady Bay Resort is Logan's Beach, here you'll witness the annual migration of the Southern Right Whale. The whales make the journey from South Antarctic waters to enclosed coastal bays such as Logans Beach in the months of June through to September. An event not to be missed!

Continue your wildlife escape & head West on the Princess Highway and you will find Tower Hill State Game Reserve. Inside this vast Maar volcano rim you will encounter koalas, emus, kangaroos and water birds roaming freely in this wildlife haven. Tower Hill boasts 614 hectares of scenic bushwalks and volcanic wetlands and is internationally recognised as a site of geological significance.
