Top Regional Road Trips: Victoria
Great Ocean Road
Recognised as one of the world���s most scenic drives, the Great Ocean Road follows the stunning coastline of Victoria���s south-west. Stretching from Torquay, just south of Geelong, to Allansford, east of Warrnambool, the road winds along cliff tops beside breathtaking headlands, down onto the edge of beaches, across river estuaries and through rainforests, offering ever-changing panoramic views of Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean.
Great Alpine Road
The Great Alpine Road is Australia���s highest year-round accessible sealed road that winds through Victoria's High Country. It is one of the few roads in Australia that passes through lofty mountains, valleys, forests, rivers, vineyards and farms, giving travellers the opportunity to sample the local food and wine, and fish, cycle, climb or ride along the way.
Grand Ridge Road, Gippsland
Grand Ridge Road snakes 132km along the ridge of Victoria's Strzelecki Ranges between the Latrobe Valley and South Gippsland. The ever-changing scenery encompasses Mt. Baw Baw to the north, to the green Latrobe Valley and the sandy beaches and blue waters of the Bass Coast and Wilsons Promontory to the south. Along the way are quaint villages, fern forests, rolling pastures, towering mountain ash and forestry plantations.
NE Victoria Food and Wine Trail
Victoria's north east is the state's premier region for wine-lovers and foodies. Nestled between the high country's snowfields and the Murray River, this dramatic landscape of mountains, valleys, clean air and clean rivers, is the perfect backdrop for an inspirational food and wine experience. From the wineries of Rutherglen, Milawa, Glenrowan and the King Valley to the canned fruit outlets of Shepparton and all the specialist produce in between, the region is a gourmet lovers' delight.
Upper Goulburn Valley Goldfields
In the 1860s the mountainous terrain of the Upper Goulburn Valley was invaded by thousands of miners after alluvial gold was first disovered at Raspberry Creek in 1859. Today the Goulburn and Jamieson Rivers are popular for trout fishing, canoeing, 4-wheel driving and gold fossicking in and around the ghost towns and gold mines on and beyond the Yarra Track.
