We drove from Melbourne along the great ocean road visiting surf spots, beaches and the monoliths eroded in the sea.
It wasn't quite as impressive as Highway 1 in California, but pretty spectacular. The 12 Apostles at Sunset are a sight to see.
Some of the towns are a bit hicksville along the way. Our favourite was Port Fairy.
I wouldn't recommend Mount Gambier, a strange place. Avoid the Jail hostel!
We ultimately ended up in the Barossa Valley and stayed at a great place, Doubles De'Vine. There we had free wine tasting and met some nice people. Cycling after a few glasses was fun, but they had very sensibly put in an off road cycle track for safety.
From here it was the last of our driving to head to reach Adelaide.
