North Coast 500 - Talk to me...
Posted: Mon Jul 24, 2023 12:02 pm
So, after doing the Great Ocean Road last December over 4 days (which was drokking *amazing* ) I fancy doing the NC500, in the Lude.
Anyone done it?
Thoughts?
Experiences/advice?
I don't want to camp, but is it affordable to find places to stay en-route?
On the Great Ocean Road, I didn't pre-book anything, I had a rough plan following a suggested itinerary on a web-site set up by someone that had done it before and then I just looked up places on booking.com each morning, to book something that took my fancy for that night.
That worked really well, keeping things flexible, a bit of a surprise and still affordable - though I had the benefit of doing it slightly 'off-season'.
Is that realistic for the NC500???
Edit:
In case anyone is interested, this is the site I referred to that I used as a guide to the Great Ocean Road
https://whereangiewanders.com/adelaide- ... cean-road/
I did it that direction too - Adelaide to Melbourne, but took a day longer over it.
I stayed overnight in Robe, Port Fairy, Apollo Bay, Lorne
