You can join a tour group on the first day and don't drive. It's late at night after watching the penguins, so it's dangerous to drive back to Melbourne.

I'm picking up a car at the airport and planning to drive the Great Ocean Road by myself. I plan to return to Melbourne on the third day. The rental location is near Central Station. According to the return time, it should be before 5 pm. I would like to ask if driving from the Great Ocean Road to the Melbourne city center is very congested and will it waste a lot of time? Or where is it more appropriate to return the car? Thank you ? Australia Q&A

Seeking advice, leaving Melbourne on the morning of August 19th to drive the Great Ocean Road. The booked accommodation is near the Victoria Library. Is there a car pick-up point nearby? I'm planning to pick up the car on the evening of the 18th and load up the supplies, but I'm worried about not having a parking space and expensive parking fees. Or should I pick up the car the next morning, but I'm afraid it will take a long time. Which option is better ? Australia Q&A
