The Grampians and Regional Victoria by Campervan

Quick summary: West of Melbourne, a campervan opens up the Grampians, a mountain range with hiking trails, lookouts and plenty of camping, around three hours’ drive from the city. On the way, Ballarat and the goldfields offer historic towns and old mines. Inland Victoria’s wineries and farm-gate produce suit a slower trip. Combine the Grampians with the Great Ocean Road for a loop of a week or more.
