Best Road Trips in Victoria

Great Ocean Road

The signature Victoria road trip. From Melbourne, follow the coast past Torquay, Lorne, and Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles, then loop back through the Otways rainforest. Give yourself at least 3 days to actually stop at the lookouts instead of driving past them. See our full Great Ocean Road trip guide for a day-by-day itinerary.

The Grampians (Gariwerd)

Rugged sandstone ranges, Aboriginal rock art sites, and some of the best short walks in the state (the Pinnacle lookout is unmissable). About 3 hours from Melbourne — easy to combine with the Great Ocean Road for a longer loop. It's one of the stops on our list of underrated national parks to visit by campervan.

Yarra Valley

Victoria's best-known wine region, less than an hour from Melbourne. A good option for a shorter weekend hire, or as an easy first night out before heading further afield.

High Country

Mount Buller, Bright, and the Great Alpine Road, cooler-climate driving with river valleys and mountain passes. Best in the shoulder seasons (autumn colours in Bright are worth timing your trip around); pack the optional heating kit if travelling in winter.

Budj Bim National Park is home to one of the world's oldest aquaculture systems, created by lava flows thousands of years ago. Budj Bim is a World Heritage-listed park where nature and history meet in winding, rocky channels and valleys of Manna Gum trees.
