Just a few months ago, we took spontaneous trip to Australia and visit the Great Ocean Road. The overall breathtaking view is just amazing. You’ll see numerous distinct rock formations here. The surrounding beach and the rock formations is just mesmerizing. Be careful though as the drive here is kind of hard. It would be best if you would drive using a 4x4 vehicle #campingglamping
