Australia trip planning - Great Ocean Road and Goldfield Route

I have been doing the research on where to stay... where to visit... and what to do for the 10 days in Australia next month.

Initially, my plan is just to chill in Great Ocean Road and Melbourne but at the end after i planned, I realised that we have more time. So decided to cover the goldfield route which includes Ballarat which i will have my graduation on Dec 10th 2015.

Am excited to visit the underground mining, visit the great scenic drive of Great Ocean Road and looking forward to graduate in Federation University Australia :)

Yay~ Let's countdown now... 

On planning for year end Australia trip

I have completed my MBA in July and the graduation will be held in Australia. Looking forward for my graduation in Ballarat.

Now, am planning on how i will spend the 10 days (Dec 5th - Dec 13th 2015) in Southern Australia i.e. Melbourne area. I heard there are one very nice driving stretch by the coastline near Melbourne and Ballarat area. The Great Ocean Road (GOR).

Anyone been to the GOR before? Can share with me your plan?
