Sights
This is a guest post by Katie Oakes from The Tap Tap Bus. She is embarking on her own adventure with partner Richard across Australia and is a fellow MatadorU travel writing student. Luckily she managed to drive down the Great Ocean Road, which I completely missed on my drive from Perth to Sydney. Here is her take on one of the most handsome roads in the world.
Nice place for a silhouette shot
“Driving on the motorway isn’t as hard as I thought it’d be,” Richard comments, hogging the middle lane as cars zoom past on either side.
“You’ve not driven on the motorway before?” I ask, incredulous.
He shrugs his shoulders as another car flies past and veers back in front of him. “They don’t have any in Northern Ireland.”
We’ve just hired a car from Travellers Autobarn to drive the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. Richard, as the only male, agreed to do the first leg of the trip, keeping his motorway virgin status to himself. Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →

Waking up outside an auto-electrician’s place (probably the least glamourous place we’ve woken up on this trip so far), Darren got the starter motor on and working, we gave him a crate of beer as a token of our appreciation and he offered us a hot shower each, which I quickly accepted; there is showers on route at fuel stops, but they aren’t the most refreshing of places to clean up.
A legend if there ever was one
