I arrived in Sydney on August 22nd. I've heard that driving in the city of Sydney is quite complicated, but I've already booked a car. I'm also a bit worried about driving issues.

Be sure to study the traffic rules in Australia in advance, don't just go and pick up the car without learning anything. Right-hand drive and left-hand drive are all reversed. Driving on the Great Ocean Road is not as difficult as you think, so many people can do it, and you can too.

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.
