At the township of Kennett River, we make a brief detour into the sweetly scented eucalyptus forest to locate some of the local koalas in their native habitat. We also have an opportunity to see colourful local birdlife, including crimson rosellas and king parrots.
Stopping in the seaside township of Apollo Bay, with time to grab a bite to eat. Passing through Great Otway National Park. Count how many koalas you can spot and enjoy spending time with some of Australia’s native parrots, lorikeets and even kookaburras.
