Melbourne to 12 Apostles

[Geoff79]

Go to google maps and map yourself from Melbourne to the end of that piece of coast road then scroll in to the google earth view and you can see first hand what is along the road and what view there are. You will be surprised.

I have spent the last 6 months using this method for my 2yr round Aus trip when I retire and with this method you can view all manner of the areas with even remote areas included to a degree.

When I was looking at the coast road, I have planned three days around there staying at the Great Ocean Rd Tourist Parl as there is so much to see and photograph for a keen photograph.

Yeah, that's a great way to do it. I remember when I used to get out for an annual road trip in a life before kids I'd leave the house with a pile of google map print outs an inch thick on the passenger seat, all equipped with notes I made in preparation.

But then I'm the type who can't drive past a remote road in a remote location without needing to know what's at the end of it so I'd drop in everywhere anyway.

I wouldn't change a thing and am happy with where I'm at now, but without doubt the thing I miss most about life before kids is my solo road trips with just my surfboard and my camera gear loaded up in the car. Good times.

But yeah, it's a good idea. Google maps, make sure it's in "earth" view and just zoom in all along the coastline and note what looks most appealing. Plenty to chose from.
