My parents were visiting me in Australia for two weeks over the Easter long weekend, and so we booked in a trip to drive from Sydney to Melbourne, and then road-trip the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne to Port Campbell, before driving back up to Sydney via Bendigo. The roadtrip was a bit of an epic drive, and despite my meticulous itinerary and planning, we learnt a lot on the way that I wanted to share with you all in the hope that it will help you if you're planning a similar trip!
