VICTORIA: Great Ocean Road and Surf Roadtrip

For all those who are into Surf, the Sea, Nature, Animals and want to enjoy the epic landscape of Victoria. Get all your staff and hurry up to the Great Ocean Road! It would takes around 1 Week to do the Trip by car (Torquay-Warrnambool).

But Max and me, who I met in Melbs before, we continued our trip to Adelaide and returned through the Grampians Nationalpark. All in all it took us 12 days to do it.
