About the Journey

The route follows almost the entire length of the Yorke and Eyre Peninsula coastline with two night stop-overs for spectacular coastal scenery at Edithburgh (Yorke Peninsula), Streaky Bay and Port Lincoln (Eyre Peninsula). Travelling through the wine country of the Adelaide Hills we avoid that city – to return to the coast on the Fleurieu Peninsula and a full day of rest (2 nights) at Victor Harbour in a beautifully located bluestone hotel on the bay. Then around the Coorong and down the 'Limestone Coast' then returning via a scenic inland route through Mt Gambier to Adelaide.

Some of the highlights

The pace of this tour is leisurely – making plenty of time with two night stops at several locations to ensure we miss none of the spectacular scenery. Places near Streaky Bay, Venus Bay and Coffin Bay on the Eyre Peninsula, Innes National Park at the foot of Yorke Peninsula and the renowned coastline of the Coorong. Avoiding Adelaide with a route through the Clare, Barossa and McLaren wine fields.
