Cape Jervis-Great Ocean Road-Port Melbourne
A chance for Melbourne riders to return home, an opportunity for Adelaide riders to join us on the Great Ocean Road and Sydney riders to get closer to a home run if they need to. Highlights for this leg are a 15k run along the beach, ferries, forests and sights.
Staying off the asphalt as much as possible but still making our way past the 12 Apostles, Bells Beach, and The Great Ocean Road.
Depart Cape Jervis 23rd October 2018
4 days over 1,200 kms to Torquay
It’s only about an hour to Port Melbourne from Torquay so it’s better to stay out of the ‘big smoke’ until we’re ready to start Leg 6: Tasmania.

Day 2 – Granites Campsite to Millicent
|
Day 3 – Millicent to WarrnamboolWe stay mostly near the coast today – well away from the A1. Drop in for a nice view along the coast at Northumberland and then a nice run through Lower Glenelg National Park. Lunch at Portland and a quick run to Warrnambool. There’s a choice of pub stay or a couple of large caravan parks to choose from.

Day 4 – Warrnambool to TorquayTime for a good look at the 12 Apostle (or is it 11 now?) We’ll get glimpses at Port Campbell and along the road but the Visitor Centre Lookouts offer the best view. Cape Otway Lighthouse offers good view along the coast. We’ll drop into Erskine Falls for some good views to the north East towards Torquay.
