A NUMBER of new experiences and activities have launched about 523-mile Great Southern Touring Route, a coastal road from Melbourne to Port Fairy, which is described as “Australia’s best road trip”.

Travellers embarking on the Great Southern Touring Route will have the chance to take in some of the route from the sky following the launch of the 12 Apostles Helicopter experience, a flight over the Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, which offers an opportunity to see the entire Shipwreck Coast and Port Campbell National Park from the sky.
