Best places to go on a road trip with your friends this spring
At Mantello Kia Roxburgh Park, there’s nothing we love more than a road trip with friends…apart from a road trip with friends in spring! From the warmer weather to the blossoming foliage, a spring road trip can be a delightful experience. Whether you prefer to drive just an hour outside of Melbourne or further afield, spring is the perfect time of year to explore Victoria before that summer heat kicks in.
So, where are the best places to go in Victoria if you’re looking for the ultimate road trip? We’ve put together a list you can tick off from now until summer starts - and even beyond! Happy driving!
The High Country
If you haven’t road-tripped to the Victorian High Country yet, you’re missing out. Known for its skiing and snowboarding activities, the region is a favourite with snowsport fanatics. But did you know that’s also the perfect place to walk, cycle and swim? Take in the breathtaking scenery at Beechworth Gorge Walk or Lake Kerferd, then top it all off with some local craft beer and make the day one to remember.
The Bellarine Peninsula
Keen to ditch the usual wine and produce-loving crowds that the Yarra Valley draws in? The Bellarine is a great spring road trip destination for those who’re after a pinot or a cab sav without the hordes of tourists.
Why not head to the Bellarine Peninsula for a spring weekend getaway? Pack up your Kia SUV, hit the road and explore this scenic region in style. You can reach the Bellarine by road or, if you’re feeling adventurous, take your car on the ferry.
The Great Ocean Road
No spring road trip list is complete without mention of The Great Ocean Road. In spring, the whole area comes alive with greener than green greenery, cute wildlife and stunning views to take your breath away. Spot koalas, eat great food, walk in nature and breathe in that spring air.
For a truly unforgettable trip, you can’t go wrong with the Kia Carnival. As Australia’s number one people mover, the Carnival has plenty of room for family, friends…and even the dog! Featuring a luxurious interior for eight people and equipped with next-generation Kia technology, the Carnival lets you and your passengers travel in true comfort and style.
The Great Alpine Road
One of Australia’s most fun roads to drive in your Kia is the Great Alpine Road. The 339km journey is Australia’s highest year-round accessible road that will take you past rolling vineyards, shimmering waterways on the coast and down plunging mountain valleys. Take in the foliage, and the sunshine and stop off for a hike surrounded by enthralling scenery.
