Travel to the iconic Great Ocean Road, to the Grampians Mountains and into outback north-western Victoria and south-western New South Wales. In dramatically different ecosystems of oceans, mountains and deserts you’ll monitor wildlife and the impacts of climate change on flora and fauna.
From the wild ocean cliffs and rainforest hinterland of the Great Otway National Park, to the saw tooth peaks of the Grampians National Park and the desert parks of Hattah-Kulkyne, Wyperfeld and Mungo National Parks, this journey is a remarkable expose of the sheer diversity of southern Australia’s wildlife.
Variety is the essence of this trip. You’ll paddle with platypus in the rainforest, walk with koalas in the eucalyptus forests, see cockatoos, parrots and reptiles and climb high into sand dunes in the deserts.
Customised for you: choose from 7 to 13 days in the regions best suited to your interests, timing and budget. Focus on birds, reptiles, mammals or all of them; photography, scenery, or walking. All private, all shared tours or a mix of both.
