I’m planning my first trip to Australia with my husband and 5 year old and planning a 14 day trip to Sydney, whitsundays, and Melbourne area. So far I have in my itinerary 2 days of roadtrip on the GOR. But I’m hearing from a couple of people that it’s not worth going there and that the scenery is less impressive than California (I live in San Diego and have driven the scenic no 1 highway many times). I’m really interested in the twelve apostles but I’m not sure if I should just book a one day (very rushed lonnnngggg and tiring) guided bus tour instead to just hit the spots. Any thoughts?
