Our Great Ocean Road Adventure
by Donna Waverley
My family and I recently went to
Australia, to see my grandparents…
Dad had intended to drive, but
even though he was exhausted, he
then read on the website that the
road wouldn’t be an easy drive,
with a number of sharp ends.
Anyway, we thought he deserved to
enjoy the fantastic views too,
which he couldn’t do as our
driver. So instead, we persuaded
him to book discount bus tickets
and off we went.
Q: Donna’s dad decided not
to drive the Great Ocean
Road himself because
a. he realized he wouldn’t
enjoy the views as much.
b. he thought it would be
tiring for him.

would be a cheaper
option.

was very challenging.
