Warnings Or Dangers: Travel Sickness Pills
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you're driving the Great Ocean Rd I recommend that you have something like Travel Calm Ginger (natural) pills on hand, just in case.
    For me, even travelling for 30 minutes on winding roads with very tight bends at 40 - 60 km/h is enough to make me ill, and because the road is so narrow, there aren't many places to pull over.
    (Another reason not to try and see the Great Ocean Road in one day)

    Warnings Or Dangers: Don't try to see it all in one day
  • Tip Rating:
  • A word of warning:
    I'd never attempt to see the whole Great Ocean Road in one day. For one thing, there are too many nice towns and attractions to see, and another is the road you're driving on.
    For most of the way you'll have cliffs on one side above you, and a sheer drop to the ocean on the other side. The road curves are for the most part very tight, so you can only do 40 - 70 km/hr at most.

     Hi Kate...Great 'Great Ocean road' page. Excellent tips. Hopefully will put them to good use when I'm down that way at X-mas.
