Next we see Eastern Grey Kangaroos, before continuing our journey through the scenic towns of Lorne and Apollo Bay. Along the way we have plenty of opportunities to see the native wildlife in its natural habitat including koalas and a variety of birds. Visit the Cape Otway Lighthouse - Here we learn about the fascinating history of the aboriginal owners and enjoy the spectacular views of the rugged coastline from the historic building. With an overnight stay along the the Shipwreck Coast we rise early and travel to the Port Campbell National Park to experience the world famous limestone rock stacks, the 12 Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge and Gibsons Steps on the western end of the Great Ocean Road.
