The most popular drive from Melbourne takes you down the spectacular Great Ocean Road, which is renowned as one of the greatest coastal
drives on the planet. Awe inspiring ocean views greet you around every turn as you wind your way down this stretch of coast. The malleable
limestone coastline has been battered by the ocean to form unforgettable rocky features, the most well known being the Twelve Apostles.
These are tall, narrow vertical stacks of rock that have been worn away from the mainland and stand alone, pointing towards the sky. Inland
of the Great Ocean Road are the towering Otway Ranges, which are rugged mountains coated in a thick layer of rainforest vegetation. Make
the most of the freedom your campervan provides and visit some of the stunning waterfalls dotted throughout these mountains.
Located along the Great Ocean Road are a number of peaceful coastal towns and villages, and they all have campsites where you can park
your hired camper and relax for a couple of days. Port Campbell is the town closest to the Twelve Apostles so many choose to stay there,
but towns such as Apollo Bay, Lorne and Port Fairy are just as quaint and welcoming. Plan your journey and take your pick. For anymore
information on this amazing drive have a look at this article of

Sticking around Melbourne city itself is not such a bad holiday alternative either, especially if you are a sports fan. Birthplace of the
Australian Football Leaugue, and home of the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Rod Laver Tennis Arena there is always some sporting
event going on here. The residents of this fine city are as cultured as they are sports mad, and you can take your pick from a large number of
museums and galleries to browse around. The Melbourne Museum is a favourite, with a wide range of exhibitions covering many interests.
The cultural diversity of the city also means there are a smorgasbord of cuisine styles in the many restaurants, so your dining experience
will be varied and exciting if you wish to head out for a meal. Simply enjoy the eclectic atmosphere of Australia's most cosmopolitan city.
