The Great Southern Touring Route is regarded as one of the world’s best road trips. The journey begins in Melbourne and takes in the waterfront city of Geelong, the food and wine region of Bellarine Peninsula and the Great Ocean Road—including the dramatic rock formation of the Twelve Apostles. It passes through the seaside city of Warrnambool and the pretty hamlet of Port Fairy.
The journey allows one to experience the majestic nature of Grampians National Park, with its cascading waterfalls and incredible views across the Australian landscape. One can also see kangaroos in the wild and learn about the Aboriginal heritage of the area at Brambuk the Aboriginal Cultural Centre. The road trip takes travellers back to Melbourne via the famous Sovereign Hill and the gold rush history and grandeur of Ballarat and the health healing waters of Daylesford and spa country. Australia’s greatest road trip is full of family fun but can also be a very romantic journey! An adventure full of experiences and friendly locals that will delight and inspire every traveller.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
