Wheel away: New cycle tour explores an epic coastline

A new cycle tour offers the opportunity to explore Victoria’s spectacular Great Ocean Road at your own pace.

The new self-guided tour from Australian Cycle Tours gives travellers the chance to cycle along the wild southern coast and roll right up to one of Australia’s iconic natural landmarks, The Twelve Apostles.

Launching next month, The Great Ocean Road Cycle itinerary features impressive cliffs and dramatic seascapes.

Designed for confident and experienced riders, the seven-day journey offers the freedom of self-guided travel with all the details taken care of, including accommodation, daily luggage transfers, and a navigation app.

The trip begins inland on the the Camperdown to Timboon Rail Trail and then the Twelve Apostles Trail, a newly developed path that winds through native bush and farmland.

From there, the route descends toward the coast, joining the Great Ocean Road and rides alongside the wild Southern Ocean.

There are also gourmet stops in foodie towns like Timboon, Port Campbell, and Lorne.
