Absolutely, I did some v amatuer photography a few years back - the page's still on my server http://www.4am.org/photos
The great ocean road is perhaps one of those things people would fly overseas for.. I know I would, if it wasnt an hour down the road from me.....
Peter, it's absolutely freezing here mate.. you might want to not only pack the socks.. but get a really really big coat!!
I just had another move toward the inner-south beach of melbourne.. and I can tell you, a walk to the shops.. is like an eskimo in the antarctic !
I seriously can't wait for summer *lol* ..
Best of luck with the trip :-)
