Upon arrival at Warrnambool Airport, your local guide will transfer you to Port Fairy via Tower Hill Nature Reserve.
Declared Victoria’s first National Park in 1892, Tower Hill is an extinct volcano formed around 30,000 years ago. Archaeological finds show that Indigenous people lived here at the time of its eruption. The area remains culturally significant to the Koroitgundidj People.
Tower Hill offers stunning landscapes and a chance to encounter native wildlife such as emus, koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, and reptiles. Wildflowers bloom in spring, adding to its beauty.
You'll join a guided walk with a local Worn Gundidj guide, learning about Aboriginal culture, traditional plant uses for food and medicine, and how to throw a boomerang.
After this immersive experience, continue to Drift House in Port Fairy. Nestled at the end of the Great Ocean Road, this unique accommodation sits at the mouth of the Moyne River, overlooking one of Australia’s most picturesque coastlines. With a rich and varied past, Drift House has hosted a colourful cast of residents including a doctor, architect, auctioneer, and even the Captain of the Militia.
