Did you know: For every guest that books a WAM trip, we plant a native tree on your behalf. You even have the chance to double your impact by adding a small donation to the project at check out. 🌳 🐨

Yesterday our little family spent the morning planting as our little business sponsored a tree planting event on the Mornington Peninsula with The Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation Group.

So by joining a WAM trip, you are automatically leaving a positive legacy, as we plant a tree for all our guests during the winter (tree planting season).

If you are private group and would like to combine your WAM outdoor activity filled day with tree planting, we can arrange this.

Or if you would like to further directly support the amazing work Dirk, Michelle and the volunteer team at MP Koalas do, please check them out @mp_koalas

5 reasons why The Great Alpine Road is a must do winter road trip:

1) Breathtaking scenery - Snow capped mountains, beautiful valleys, lush forests, rolling vineyards, and the stunning waterways of the Gippsland Lakes.

2) Skiing & Snowboarding - perched on top of the mountain, Mt Hotham is unique in many ways; wide open spaces, exhilarating terrain and panoramic views, it's the perfect spot to ski and snowboard in Australia

3) Incredible diversity of experiences - it doesn't get more varied in terms of experiences and scenery. One day you could be skiing, snowboarding or snowshoeing in Mt Hotham and the next kayaking along the Gippsland Lakes, or bathing at the dream worthy Metung Hot Springs

4) Connecting the Australian Alps with the Gippsland Lakes - This 339-kilometre adventure along Australia's highest year-round accessible sealed road is iconic, and has very little traffic in winter so you will feel like you have it all to yourself at times.

5) Gippsland in winter is a really special time to go - amazing food, activities, wildlife, and people. Winter is a great time to visit whilst supporting communities in their low season.

Our 5 day Great Alpine & Lakes Adventure is going from the 4th to 8th September 2024 and there are just three spots remaining. Click link in bio to find out more.
