I plan to leave Melbourne on the 13th and stay on the Great Ocean Road at night. On the 14th, I will play on the Great Ocean Road and then turn to Ballarat. I will see the situation at night. If I have time on the 15th, I will stay in Canberra. On the 16th, I will go to Sydney. Now I am struggling whether to pass through Wollongong from Canberra to Sydney. Is the scenery there good ?

I didn't expect to go to Wollongong. We are in a hurry, so we can only stay in Canberra for one night and then continue our journey on the 14th. I think it's only a two-hour drive from Canberra to Sydney, so we can rest and take a walk in Canberra.

The coastal scenery along the Great Ocean Road is magnificent, and the sunset is the most beautiful. Don't miss it. In fact, you can stay overnight in Port Campbell nearby after watching the sunset. The wooden houses by the sea there are very beautiful. As for Ballarat, I think it is a gold mine that has been commercialized, so I didn't go.

I drove from Sydney yesterday, didn't take the coastal route, took the middle road, then turned onto a small oil road, there is a ranch, the scenery is good, we also saw wild kangaroos, because it's fresh, so it feels okay, to go to the coast, you have to pass through Wollongong, Canberra can go or not, I just stayed at the Parliament House for a while today, I also plan to drive the Great Ocean Road on the 13th, but I don't rule out joining a local tour, I haven't decided yet
