Introduction...
The southernmost state of mainland Australia, Victoria has massive appeal. The
Great Ocean Road is a magnificent coastline, wild with ancient rock formations.
Inland are the soaring sandstone mountains and waterfalls of the Grampians and
the award-winning vineyards of the Yarra Valley. The city of Melbourne is
vibrant and cosmopolitan with plenty of excellent restaurants and lively bars
and the Australian Grand Prix circuit, in Albert Park just south of the Yarra,
is just fifteen minutes from the centre of Melbourne by tram.
It is traditional for the stunning city of Melbourne to host a Grand Prix at the
end of the Australian Summer when the weather is ideal. Sport is what Melbourne
does best and the 2012 Australian Grand Prix race weekend is a four day festival
of motorsport. Access to the Albert Park track and grandstands is easy, the
Melbourne F1 Grand Prix schedule runs to time, there are plenty of food and
drink outlets and there are entertainments galore – the whole Australian Formula
One event is extremely well organised.
If you are travelling this far then it would be a pity not to enjoy more of the
spectacular scenery and sights of Australia. No visit to Australia is complete
without spending a few nights in Sydney. Sydney Harbour really is breathtakingly
beautiful and the best way to see it is from the water on one the many ferry
boats which criss-cross Sydney harbour regularly. Fly north to Cairns, starting
point for exploring the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforest or drive south
from Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road to Adelaide. Across the water is
Tasmania – the hidden gem. It’s pure and natural with plenty of unique wildlife
and untouched wilderness. You can fly or take the ferry from Melbourne.
There’s so much choice and so much to see – just call us to discuss your plans
and we’ll be happy to tailor-make the perfect Australian Grand Prix holiday!
The Malaysian Grand Prix is just a
week after the 2012 Australian Grand Prix - why not combine the two races? Call
us on 01543 258631 to discuss the options.

Australia is a magical land of endless possibilities. Whether

Rock and the Outback we can arrange it for you reserving your flights, hotels

Circuit map... (click to enlarge)
A weekend at the Albert Park Circuit is an
amazing experience. Access is easy, transport from the city centre is very
frequent and well organised, there are plenty of track entry points and, once
inside, there's no shortage of food and drink, souvenir stands, exhibitions and
green areas to sit. You can walk almost all the way around the track and there
are several specially built mounds for even better viewing. The grandstands are
not covered but all seats are numbered and have giant screens. Most grandstand
tickets are valid for four days although there is no F1 action on Thursday. A
general admission ticket is good value and there are plenty of viewing areas but
it does not give admission to the shopping and restaurant village at the back of
the Fangio grandstand.
