One of the great drives. Scenic road follows the coast. Take 2 days to really enjoy it and the surrounding bush, lighthouse, shipwrecks, beaches, etc

There was no way my boyfriend and I were going to stay in NYC for winter - so we headed to Australia instead. We landed in Melbourne and went straight down the GOR. It was the coolest road trip! We stopped in Geelong - a cute town with a nice waterfront - but the best bit was staying at the gorgeous Haymarket Boutique Hotel (www.haymarkethotel.com.au) and eating yummy pizza at Hey Leroy (www.heyleroy.com.au) We stopped at Torquay - where we bought heaps of surf clothes (so many hot guys and girls!!!) and visited little cafes/shops until we got to Lorne - which was the best!! Great vibe in the cafes/street - everyone was chilled and it had a great beach where we spent most of our days - reading books and eating fish 'n' chips!! We continued driving to the 12 apostles which was breathtaking - but the further you go - the towns do get 'quieter' - which is fine - but not too many young people and less to do. I did love the Otways though - very lush and green and the Otway Fly was heaps of fun!! Hope all this info helps other travellers!!

This is a nice drive along the ocean front. You shouldn't be in danger of hitting any dingoes, but there could be some 'roos.
