A scenic campervan hire itinerary is the Great Alpine Road, one of the great touring routes of Australia. For more than 300 kilometres, discover the splendour of valleys, mountains, forests, rivers and ocean - one of the finest and most diverse combinations of scenery imaginable in the country. The road is Australia's highest year-round accessible sealed road and winds past lofty mountains, valleys, forests, rivers, vineyards and farms. Sample local food and wine, and fish, cycle, climb or ride along the way. It’s adventure, it’s stylish, it’s fascinating and above all, it’s one of the great Australian campervan hire touring experiences.

Highlights:

• Touring Routes: Six touring routes on sealed roads reveal many sights and experiences which are often just a short drive from the main road. History, regional food and wine, mountain vistas, adventure activities, little-known back country roads and the southern hemisphere’s biggest network of inland waterways just waiting to be discovered.

• Summer in the High Country: Victoria’s alpine areas are the height of adventure in summer, with activities ranging from downhill thrills on mountain bikes to mastering the art of fly fishing in alpine streams.

• Explore the National Parks: The Alpine National Park is the high point of your Great Alpine Road journey which peaks at 1825m over Mt Hotham. Just 30 minutes from the Great Alpine Road, the Mt Buffalo National Park is one of Australia’s oldest.

• Ride or Walk the Rail Trails: The Murray to Mountains and East Gippsland Rail Trails promise spectacular rural scenery, superb local produce and a living history easily accessible from the Great Alpine Road.
