What’s your idea of the perfect outdoor experience? Sea kayaking around a ruggedly beautiful coast, or a gentle cruise (complete with champagne and oysters) on a calm, clear ocean? A multi-day bushwalk with a couple of peaks to conquer, or maybe a gentle stroll to a cascading waterfall is more your style? You might fancy testing your skill against big game fish out on the open sea, or perhaps soaking up the view or lazing the day away on a long white beach is your idea of outdoor heaven.
Whatever your sense of adventure is, you’ll find a way to follow it on the Great Eastern Drive.
Here, unforgettable outdoor experiences are as simple to find as getting in your car, taking one of the world’s best road trips and just wandering, until adventure finds you.
