New Kluger - Time for driving holiday (Victoria)

[KXRuising]

Hi all,

Just picked up our new family car, KXR Kluger 2wd and thought that we would become better aquinted with the car by going on a driving holiday. And to take a final holiday before child number 3 comes in Jan 2010!!

Will be leaving from Melbourne (Eastern suburbs) and probably going away for upto a week.

We have 2 young children; a 3 and a half and 1 and a half year old and wondered if anyone had any ideas/experieces that you could share...

We have discussed:

The Grampians,

Great Ocean Rd,

Merimbula??

Would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.

You've got me thinking with Nowra!! Could go through Nowra onto Palm Beach (Summer Bay - Home and Away) as my wife is a big fan and always wanted to go there!!

Melbourne - Lakes Entrace - Merimbula - Batemans Bay / Nowra - Sydney - Palm Beach.

What are the attarctions of Nowra and surrounds!!

Is there anything else along this route worth stopping for / staying??

Cheers.

Change of plans!!

Melbourne to Palm Beach to Melbourne = 2000+ kms.

Now thinking Great Ocean Rd - Portland - Dunkeld (Royal Mail Hotel) - Grampians - Ballarat (Soveriegn Hill) - Home = 1000 km's.

Might be a bit better on the kids, with less time in the car!!

Your thoughts?? Have I missed anything along the way??

just make sure the kids are entertained there is nothing worse then the little kids being bored but all in all sounds like your ghonna have a good cruise
