The great ocean road road trip - Intro

If you're in Melbourne, as I was, it is almost impossible to not go on a road trip along The Great Ocean Road!
When you ask someone they will always say you have to do it. And in fact, it would be really stupid not to. I would even say that, if you have the time, it is one of the great road trips you have in Australia.
We went with a lot of people, in two cars, and made it almost to Adelaide.
It was the only trip in which we saw actual Koalas in the wild. If you want to see the pictures just keep on reading the following posts.
For advice, I would say that you should buy a full insurance pack (as much as they offer you) and be very careful not to wreck or even scratch your car. The second car on our party got hit from behind and the rent a car just charged 5000 AUD from the credit card of the friend who had rented the car. She being German had full insurance bought from her insurance company from Germany, but the Australian rent a car just charged her anyway (even the fault not being hers).
That being said, full insurance is always a great idea in Australia.
Other than that, bring nice comfortable hiking shoes, and depending on the time of the year bring your bathing suit or your warmest jacket.
