The Grampians and Wimmera Tour covers an area which includes over one third of the state’s native flora including 130 plus species of orchids. The tour will visit natural grasslands of the Western District, the floriferous Grampians and unique flora of Mt Arapiles. This tour travels through Western Victoria’s spreading plains to some of the sub alpine areas of the Grampians ranges. The tour will also visit various gardens featuring unique design and architecture, another growing the majority of the endemic plants of the Grampians, and a private garden with one of the largest collection of native plants, plus many more.

The Great Ocean Road and Otways is an immensely popular area both for local and international visitors alike. Breath taking views greet you at every turn. The tour will take in the many and varied aspects of the flora and fauna present along the way from Melbourne through Anglesea, Lorne, and Apollo Bay to Warrnambool. Spectacular ocean views sit alongside wonderful heathland and the verdant green lushness of the tree ferns and tall eucalypts of the Otways. There are many wonderful cultivated gardens to also view.

Gippsland encompasses a wide range of ecosystems from coastal heathland, rainforests, fern gullies, woodlands, to salt marshes and mangroves. Our tour will visit floristically diverse areas including remnant heathland reserves, coastal parks, Tarra Bulga National Park and a big focus will be the jewel that is Wilsons Promontory National Park. “The Prom” covers 50,512 hectares and joins Victoria’s largest marine park. It is home to more than 700 native plant species, 30 kinds of mammals and 180 species of birds. You will find sweeping beaches, cool fern gullies, great views and spectacular rock formations. Tarra Bulga National Park is a critical remnant of the once vast cool temperate rainforests of Gippsland and has delightful short walks through fern gullies with giant Mountain Ash. The tour will include expert speakers in the evenings highlighting the flora of the tour and we will visit some superb private gardens and enjoy fine company.
