FEATURE — TOP 3 FAMILY TRIPS<br />
on the jetty, with its promenade<br />
of shops, fishing boats bobbing<br />
in the harbour, and the breakwall<br />
that gives pedestrian access to<br />
Muttonbird Island.<br />
Don’t miss:<br />
• The kids will love Dolphin<br />
Marine Magic, the nearby<br />
marine zoological park where<br />
you can swim with dolphins<br />
or just watch them frolic<br />
in the pools. Or why not line<br />
up for a kiss from a seal?<br />

THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD:<br />
A PEACEFUL SEASIDE ESCAPE<br />
In summer or spring, Victoria’s Great Ocean Road<br />
is a must. Winding for more than 240km from<br />
Torquay west to Warrnambool, it is one of the<br />
world’s best coastal roads.<br />
Towns such as Lorne and Apollo Bay offer a<br />
wide range of services, from pharmacies to<br />
supermarkets; however, the smaller townships,<br />
such as Wye River, are also popular.<br />
The best way to see the famous Twelve Apostles<br />
– a formation of limestone stacks in Port Campbell<br />
National Park, is from the air – helicopter tours<br />
are available but expensive. Otherwise, take the<br />
boardwalk to the viewing platform from the Twelve<br />
Apostles Visitor Centre. Loch Ard Gorge is also not<br />
to be missed.<br />
Avoiding the crowds:<br />
• If you’re after a Great Ocean Road experience<br />
away from the crowds, drive further west until<br />
you arrive in Peterborough, a sleepy hamlet with<br />
a beautiful beach, a shop or two, and a caravan<br />
park. It’s a perfect, peaceful, family getaway.<br />
