Day 2: Great Ocean Road (GOR) - Mel CBD

Our routes for today: 
Port Campbell - Melbourne airport via coastal route along the GOR
The route is longer than the inland scenic route via Colac, a little bit winding and buat members pening kepala but the view along the GOR is really breathtaking. Memang tak boleh bawak laju, so kuar awal pagi, lewat ptg baru sampai Mel CBD padahal tak sampai 300km pun.

Pit stops:
Port Campbell - London Arch (formerly London Bridge) - few other scenic spot in PC which i forgot to jot down their names - Apollo Bay - Aireys Inlet park - Split Point Lighthouse - return car rental at Apex office - Melbourne Tullamarine Airport

Brekkie: Nasi goreng Adabi
Lunch: Nasi putih + kari ayam yeos @ Apollo Bay
Dinner: Nandos, Melbourne Airport

We couldn't find koala at the Kennett River. Pasrah jela, dulu dah penah jumpa koala kat Perth kan :)
Nevertheless we spotted 4 wild kangaroos at the Aireys Inlet playground area.

21 Nov 2015 @ 00:15 - took our connecting flight to CHC via Jetstar Airways.

Ok dah malas nk tulis panjang2...layan gambar jela yer :)

Day 1: 19 Nov 2015 (Mel - GOR)

Parked our car at Putrajaya Sentral (RM7/day) and later took an ERL to KLIA2. 

Flight time: 2230 on 18th Nov (kids ponteng sekolah)
Arrived Tullamarine Airport at 0920 on the 19th next morning. I couldnt slept well during the 8hr journey. Both hands and legs were cramped, penangan riba si tecik nih, plus sejuk yg amat dlm flight.

Immigration process was such a nightmare. Very long queue. It took ages before the counter officer let us go bec of confusion with our name/surname btwn the ETA and passports. Nama org melayu kn pelik sket, they shud hv gotten themselves familiarize with M'sian! Food langsung x check. Alhamdulillah.

Took a shuttle van to Apex car rental office. Another dreaded hours of waiting before we could finally get our car. Hubby wished we could get an Estima instead of Imax, but surprisingly driving Imax was much better according to him. Rent a Gps, 1 car seat and 1 booster as well. However Irfan didnt use the car seat at all, nk melekap je ini budak, mujur takde polis hikss

Our route:
Mel airport - Great Ocean Road (234km) via inland route, lalu Colac (ladang lembu jawa)


Pit stops - Westfield Geelong for lunch, the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, Gibson Steps

Brekkie: in flight AA meals
Lunch: beriyani & nan set ($12) and kebab & chips set ($16-18, super large and sedappp sgt malangnye x amik pic) at westfield mall food court. Big portion for 1 meal, can be shared with 2 person.
Solat: the Twelve Apostles i center (solat kt luar tu jer)

Notes: minyak isi penuh siap2 kt Mel CBD, sila beli ice coffee n chips..sumer sedap bangat!

My favourite attraction sudah semestinya Loch Ard Gorge. Truly amazing. Wajib pegi.

Checked in hotel around Maghrib. Sgt penat. Hence we had maggi kari and leftover kebab je for dinner. Alhamdulillah.
