Your English is good enough, and you are good at planning ahead. However, since you are used to driving a large vehicle, I still suggest driving a motorhome. It's really annoying to carry and pack the luggage every day, which takes me over an hour. I am a family of three, just for your reference.

Parking for vans and campervans is prohibited at some attractions along the Great Ocean Road.
