Road Trip from Melbourne to Gold Coast this August!

Hello Australia! Hope you’re all doing well.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be visiting Australia this August for a road trip from Melbourne to the Gold Coast. My plan is to take the scenic route along the Great Ocean Road and stop by the iconic 12 Apostles before heading back to Melbourne and continuing my journey to the Gold Coast.

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for reliable car rental services, as well as must-visit attractions in the area before I depart Australia. Thank you so much in advance, and wishing you all a fantastic day!
