March 11th 2007So now for the final part of my Oz Experience bus journey around Oz! Cant believe how quickly its gone and how many amazing things Ive seen and done! The 3 day trip from Adelaide to Melbourne via the Great Ocean road was the best trip out of my whole journey, I was with such a great group of people (10 out of 24 were the same I was with on 6day trip from Alice Springs!) and our driver, Dave, was great, so much fun he really made it a great end to m...
