Although this region is a huge expanse of outback, it’s important not to forget the coast. And what a coastline it is! The beaches here offer some of the most pristine sand, clear water and beautiful views.
Cape Le Grande National Park offers breathtaking views and epic 4WD adventures. At Lucky Bay, you can froclick with kangaroos whilst you experience Australia’s whitest sand. And along the Great Ocean Drive, you’ll be floored by the ocean views.
For something a little different, why not take a cruise around the Recherche Archipelago?
