Guide : Travel in Australia (Melbourne)

[Matthias]

It is a nice experience to drive outside Melbourne especially towards the Great Ocean Road. I just came back from Melbourne with a 3 days self drive experience to Great Ocean Road the to Daylesford ending with visit to wineries in Yarra Valley.

The roads can be quite tricky, make sure you are equip with a proper GPS with updated map.

Overall is a fantastic feel while driving along the Great Ocean Road.

Few places to visit along Great Ocean Road:-

- SplitPoint Lighthouse @ Aireys Inlet
- Stopover in one of the costal town, Lornes for their tasty seafood
- Otway Lighthouse (Must see), catch a gilpmise of Kolas in the Otway National Park
- the magnificent Twelve Apostles, go onto to beach from Gibson Steps for a closer encounter
- Visit Loch Ard Gorge
- stay at Port Campbell Town and enjoy a nice stroll on their beach

Parking in Melbourne is expensive, could remember how long we parked (est. 5-6hrs) was charge AUD50++
If driving please look for designated parking lots, don't not do legally parking even you are in the city hub. Was fine AUD100 for legally parking, because of 2 bowls of noodle.

Always drive in Melb... else moving ard is very inconvenient...generally easy driving but just gotta be careful of the hook turn in the city...

But do take note of the 1P, 2P (p=hour) signs cos their parking attendants r all on commission there and dun give chce... very fast to summon...

as a uni student, we used to head to chadstone shopping mall ALOT but nothing unique there if your on holiday.

Hire a car and hit the great ocean rad whilst in Victoria. Check out the 12 apociles before the sea reclaims them all. If you are down that far A must is Tasmania, absolutely beautiful.

[Beetle75]

Re the 12 apociles. There are no longer 12. The waves are slowly eroding the bases.
