The shortest route from Melbourne to Adelaide is about 720 km, and the self-driving route is usually taken from Jilang to Campbell Port after 12 disciples to turn inland, the entire journey is about 900 km, because the Ocean Road we have already travelled twice, So this time from Bararet to Granping National Park, all the way southwest to Mount Gambier, back to Adelaide along the South Australian coastline known as the limestone coast of (Limestone Coast).
Day1：
Melbourne-> Bararet: 116km, Bararet-> Halls Gap:142 km, Halls Gap
Bararet (Ballarat)
It's the third largest city in Victoria, and the most famous attraction is (Sovereign Hill)., a gold mine town in Sauffin Mountain. Sauffin Mountain was the paradise of gold miners before the 1920s, and when the gold mine was mined, the business Australians transformed it into a theme park with the theme of gold rush in the 1970s, where they spent time in the gold rush, and when the gold mine was mined, the Australians who were good at doing business turned it into a theme park with the theme of gold rush in the seventies. Tourists seem to be in the westerns, suitable for family play, can play all day. Tickets: $54 for adults and $24.5 for children.
In addition to Mount Sauffin, the city of Bararet itself is worth a visit. Lake (Lake Wendouree), in the heart of the city, is a wetland lake in the heart of Bararet, scenic and inhabited by many swans. Often you can see the swans mother and father take the swans in the lake leisurely foraging, and they are not afraid of people, but do not come near them, but the calf mother swan mother will not hesitate to make you very confused. The (Ballarat Botanical Gardens) is Victoria's oldest botanical garden on the west bank of Wendry Lake, with a beautiful giant greenhouse.

Another famous attraction in Bararet is the Bararet Tramways Museum, (Ballarat Tramway Museum), which is unique in that these old trams are still available for tourists to travel around the city. You can even rent a whole car and have a party with your friends. If you're interested, you can book it on BTM's website at http://www.btm.org.au/.
Bararet accommodation recommendation:
As a big city with a population of one hundred thousand (it's big in Australia), hotels are still rich, and if you're looking for something special, recommend Kriel Castle (Kryal Castle), on the eastern outskirts of Bararet, which is a real castle with moat. Accommodations and comprehensive entertainment facilities including visits, festive banquets, zombie adventures, etc. Room rates range from $155 to $255, very popular, if you want to experience it, please make an early reservation on the official website.
Halls Gap：
Halls Gap is a small town at the foot of (Grampians National Park) Mountain, the famous Grand Pin National Park, where the National Park's visitor center is located. It's very busy, because a short distance from Melbourne, many people will take the family on holiday holidays, the hotel here in rush hour is also difficult to get, or better to plan ahead. There is a Big4, Australia's largest chain of RV parks, well-equipped, if you have a RV or a tent, you can also consider it. The visitor center is on the main street of Halls Gap, where you can get some maps and materials of the Granping National Park. In addition, many small animals gather in the vicinity of the tourist center every evening, including kangaroos, koala, hare, deer, and so on. It also becomes a scenery line here.
Day2：
Halls Gap- > Granping National Park-> Mount Gambier: 226km
Granping National Park
From the Halls Gap, across the Grampa National Park, the target is Mount Gambling, the second largest city in South Australia, and is also translated into the Gambier Mountains. Glanping National Park is one of the most famous national parks in Australia, known for the steep cliffs and the site of the indigenous rock. The area of the National Park is very large, it is impossible to go through all the times a day, and many of the landscape needs to stop after the parking. We have limited time and can only be driven by driving. The line is: Halls Gap-> Booka Lookout-> Reeds Lookout-> The Balconies-> MacKenzie Falls (2 km to and from). If you're going to camp, there are many camping points with a toilet in the National Park of the Glanping. The same peak time, please make a reservation in advance. Please ask for details of the location of the camping site. Move: http://australia51.com/place/E2FA77D4-7138-4839-5CAA-D49153E7F62F/.

[地名] [澳大利亚] Mount Gambier
Mount Gambier is the second-largest city in South Australia, with a population of 30,000. It's an interesting city, and several attractions are very distinctive. The first one to bear the brunt is Blue Lake (The Blue Lake), which is a volcanic lake, just south of the main city, with a small area, which is half an hour's drive around, and the biggest feature of Blue Lake is the summer of each year (Southern Hemisphere, November-March of the next year), the lake will turn from gray to an unusually beautiful dark blue, and the water is clear and beautiful, and there are several views on the road around the Blue Lake, which can be viewed from different angles. Mount Gambier's second famous attraction is the Cave Garden, (Umpherston Sinkhole), an underground cave, about 100 meters in diameter, now full of flowers and plants, open to the public free of charge, and very beautiful. Taking a picture at will is the feeling of a blockbuster.

The Centenary Tower is the best position for the high-altitude telescope.
Mount Gambier belongs to South Australia, but is closer to Victoria, roughly between Adelaide and Melbourne, two big cities that use it as one of their own back gardens, so it's also a bustling place every holiday. Once saw a family of seven temporarily to the hotel to find a room, the boss told them no room to borrow and kindly help their family phone asked, finally did not find, so must book in advance. The most distinctive hotel here is the Old Prison Hotel in Mount Gambier, (The Old Mount Gambier Gaol), a prison-renovated hotel with former cells, suites with bathrooms, and just a few square meters. Sharing three or four rooms in the bathroom, the slogan of the hotel is "the only prison you don't want to leave." the accommodation is not very good, but it is very distinctive. Similarly, the travel season is very popular and must be booked in advance. Booking can be made on the official website or Booking.

Day3：
Muntgan Bill-> McDonnell-> Beach Port-> Lobbe: 184 km
[地名] [澳大利亚] Port Macdonnell
The port of Mcdonnell, (Port Macdonnell), 38 kilometers south of Mount Gambier, is a coastal town with a spectacular coastline and the smell of Oceanic Road. The color of the sea is very unique, and it is a very rare light green. The town's Fairy Penguin Colony can see the world's smallest penguins, but far away, it takes binoculars to see.

Shanke, Mt.
Mount Shank (Mount Schank), located on the road from Mount Ganbier to Port McDonnell, is a dormant volcano like Blue Lake, but because the bottom of Shank Mountain is above sea level, it does not form a volcanic lake like Blue Lake. Walk to the bottom of the crater.
Shanke, Mt.
Beach harbo
Beach Port (Beachport) is just like the next stop in Lobbe, a scenic resort with beautiful beaches and buildings, and lively. The following are worth looking at:
- Beachport Conservation Park: throughout limestone cliffs, sand dunes and saltwater lagoon, natural landscape first-class, recommended driving a circle;
Beach harbo
Pool of Siloam
Lobbe.
The (Robe), resort of Lobei, with more scenery and more fun than the beach port, has several inland lagoons in the town with a vast coastline and a beautiful inner lake with excellent scenery. Among the many coastal Australian towns I've been to, I don't lose to any of the towns on the ocean road. The most beautiful scenery is in the Cape Dombey Obelisk area, must not miss.
Lobbe.
Day4：
Lobbe-> Kingston-> Curong National Park-> Adelaide: 336 km
This day is basically the road, will pass by the lobster-famous town of (Kingston SE), Kingston natural scenery, famous for the production of high-quality lobster, the town entrance has an 18-meter tall giant lobster statue. Leaving Kingston will follow the coastline of Curong National Park (Coorong National Park) towards Adelaide, and if you look at the map, the park's terrain is also very unique, long and separated by lagoons from the mainland. Wetlands and sand dunes are the main features here, basically the scenery all the way.
Kingston's big lobster statue, but it looks like it's under repair. Head's gone. Weird.
Well, the four-day journey of more than 1000 kilometers is coming to an end. Of course, this time we only take a very small portion of the limestone coast, which is basically a coastal route. Next time we will switch inland routes. Record more different experiences, and finally make an advertisement, Adelaide charter car pick-up machine, please contact WeChat yanceychen0602.
