Experience the majesty of Australia's Grampian Mountains with a day-trip from Melbourne, traveling along a stagecoach route of the 1850s while riding in a comfortable touring coach. You'll visit Halls Gap, and proceed to Grampians National Park where you can view rugged mountain landscapes from a lookout on the cliff plateau called "The Balconies." Visitors enjoy fascinating rock formations, powerful McKenzie waterfalls, and mountain streams. In this region popular with backpackers and hikers, you'll see mountain wildflowers, rare bird life, roaming emu and soaring eagles while laughing kookaburra (kingfishers) cackle from their tree perches. This mountain top adventure includes an opportunity to feed kangaroo at Ballarat Park. You'll also enjoy afternoon Bush-Billy tea prepared Aussie-style, as part of the tour, while stopping at McKenzie Creek. Returning to Melbourne, there will be a visit to Great Western winery, famous for connoisseur champagne and wine since 1918, where you may purchase dinner, not included with the tour. This unique, all-day nature trip is appropriate for children, in addition to adults and seniors.
