The most amazing road trip i have ever done. Driving across the nullarbor plains from Melbourne to Perth, stopping off in road houses, dressing up in 60's dresses making up tales to tell of our journey to the miners. Meeting amazing interesting people and seeing heads turn as you walk into a roadhouse - a rare visitor.

The drive varies through scrub, desert, beaches and lush forest. Sleep in the car, watch amazing sunrises, look out for kangeroos and roadtrains and play spot the windmill.

The first real cafe you hit and the first food that you eat that isn't a cheese sandwich makes the drive seem even more alien. Another world entirely - beautiful empty and fulfilling.

Make sure your radio works, or you'll end up like us - doing endless crosswords and singing!

The Grand Ridge Road is one of the best drives in Australia. Not really well known out of Victoria, the Grand Ridge is a drive that goes through the rolling hills of East Gippland and the Strezlecki ranges and extends into the Latrobe Valley.
It passes thru one of our states national parks and in the middle is the quaintly named, Mirboo North. Singed by the recent fires, Mirboo North is an ideal place to take a break while motoring along the Grand Ridge Road. A word of warning ... the views along the road are distracting but the road requires concentration from drivers and care and skill to navigate in parts.
