Australia Twelve Apostels

Right after breakfast and the day's briefing we head for Torquay, the gateway to the Great Ocean Road. This legendary coast road was built by home-coming soldiers in memory of their companions. More highlights on the road this first day are Bells Beach, the red and white lighthouse, Airey's Inlet and of course the Twelve Apostles.

Australia Sovereign Hill, Ballarat

Leaving the coast road, we go inland and pass through an endless variety of landscapes. Early afternoon we reach Ballarat and spend the rest of the day at Sovereign Hill, a suburb where time stands still. The old gold mining town invites you to prospect for gold and in different houses you will learn more about life in "the good old days" in the Australian "Wild West".

Australia Devonport Tasmania

By sun up, the 7th state of Australia, Tasmania, is in view. A beautiful sight for those up early, and we land at the small harbour of Devonport. Riding along the coastal Bass Highway and exploring the Tasman rain forest, we arrive in Strahan. At the visitor's center you'll find an exhibition about the biggest environmental protests in Australia. Or you can go for a look of the rain forest train or a Gordon River Cruise visiting the Wild Rivers National Park. There are many activities in Strahan - something for everyone!

arrow down Day 14: Strahan > Hobart

Tasmania Coastal Bass Highway

The day begins with impressive photographic opportunities for nature lovers. Passing glassy clear lakes with beautifully coloured mirror images, we reach Glen Clyde House for lunch. Besides an excellent cuisine, you will find beautiful Tasmanian art and handcraft. In the afternoon we arrive in Hobart, the second oldest city in Australia and the capital of Tasmania. Our hotel is located in the centre, and the rest of the day is free time for everyone.

arrow down Day 15: Hobart

Today we relax on an excursion to Tahune Forest and its Air Walk through the pure air and the wonders of nature of this Tasmanian park. From the Air Walk there is a beautiful view in all directions.

arrow down Day 16: Hobart > Swansea

Port Arthur Tasmania Australia

A real highlight of Tasmania is the former penal colony, Port Arthur, so we take a guided tour and a cruise to the prison islands. Along the Tasman Highway we stop at a Tasman Devil Park and stay overnight at Swansea.

arrow down Day 17: Swansea > Devonport

Australia, Tasmania

From Swansea we return to Devonport along the Bass Highway. We re-cross Bass Strait from Devonport to Melbourne by overnight ferry, the Spirit of Tasmania.
