Hi All,
We haven't been around much lately... a lot going on at the moment unfortunately. Anyway, we are planning to spend about 8 days in Melbourne later in the year and are after some information from the locals. We only have 1.5 days to do the 20 hour trip and are thinking we are best to go via the coastline. We know we are crazy but I have promised a friend I'll photograph their morning wedding on the Saturday morning and then I have to be in Melbourne by 8.30 am on the Monday for a seminar. We are looking at doing about 8 hours of driving Saturday afternoon/evening. There appears to be plenty of stops in the Camps 6 book along the way but as we won't be getting there until around 9pm is this likely to cause any problems. Do they get too full for you to be able to pull up (van attached) and just catch a few zzzz's?
In Melbourne we are looking at the Big 4 Melbourne. We will need to stay close to public transport to the city for the two days of the seminar but after that, where is best? We want to do the great ocean road but wondering whether we should just take the car and do a long day trip or take the van. What is a reasonable time frame for the GOR? The Boy's will want to visit the MCG and possibly an AFL game. On the way home we can take a few more days thankfully. What great little country towns are good to visit on our way back towards Qld in both Victoria and NSW? We will be coming home inland back to Brisbane so will possibly stop at Dubbo and take the kids to the zoo. All up the total trip can be no more than 15 days.
look forward to hearing your suggestions
Cheers
Andrea
PS - we decided not to put the expanda on the market. Instead I'm on a mission to create a way to have the beds remain made up when the ends are up and open again still made. I think I'm getting closer
