Great Ocean Road and East Victoria

Thx Les. I had a couple of those places on the itinerary (Tower Hill was one I just added) and triplet falls and the walk. Will definitely check out Wye River - might not plan to prepare lunch that day and go for the pub instead!
We have done the Great Ocean Road a couple of times but fairly quickly so want to take a bit more time this time - no kids in tow now! Will check out the TI centres as well.
It's the other side of Melbourne that I have never visited.
Hoping the beautiful weather holds up!

Would be good if you can take this weeks weather over to the east :)
They are copping it at the moment.

Don't know much about the stretch between Melbourne and Wilson's Prom, but East of Wilsons Prom there's camping near Woodside on the SW end of the Ninety Mile Beach. A bit further on between Seaspray and Golden Beach there are 20 free council-run camps behind the dunes. Heaps of camping around the Gippsland Lakes which I haven't explored. From Orbosy you can go to Marlo, mouth of the Snowy R and access Cape Conran NP then drive the Old Coast Road to Bemm River, Cann River, Tamboon, Point Hicks and Wingan Inlet. Back to the highway to Mallacoota if you like caravan city but its a fishermans paradise from all accounts.

Back on the highway again, Genoa has a nice overnight free camp. South of Eden is Saltwater Creek in the Ben Boyd NP. Keep going up the coast to Hobart Beach campgroound in Bournda NP south of Thathra, then Gillards Beach in Mimosa Rocks NP north of Tathra.

Between Gillards Beach and the big game fishing town of Bermagui is Mimosa Winery where they do a very fine lunch and dinner but check the days they're on.

Going north towards Narooma there's a great little winery, Tilba Wines, off the Princes Hwy just south of Narooma. If you enjoy a long lunch there they may let you camp on the flats near the lake on their property. Then its Mystery Bay just south of Narooma, as mentioned by John and Val.

Keep going north towards Moruya and have a look at the NP campground at Congo (turn off just before Moruya). There's also a council-run campground at Moruya Heads near the airport (light planes only and not busy, so don't worry about aircraft noise!)

Back on the Highway going north to Batemans Bay you'll pass through touristy Mogo. I don't find the shops attractive, but my other half does. But Mogo Zoo is well worth a look. It specialises in endangered species, both native and exotic. (White Lion, Snow Leopard spring to mind)

I don't like Batemans Bay much - too developed and touristy for my liking, but any number of CPs if you need to laundry and resupply. Just north of Batemans Bay it's well worth investigating Depot Beach, Pebbly beach and Pretty Beach, all in the Murramarang NP.

And of course, if you go inland off the highway on this journey you will be in the Vic High Country and the NSW coastal ranges and Snowies with endless camping and touring opportunities.

All the places I have mentioned are suitable for your rig.

So much to choose from.

Enjoy!

Cheers

The above should be a reply not a followup. Sorry about that.

But I will add - A few km southeast of Mallacoota there is a beaut little NP campground in a bush setting tucked away behind the beach. Can't remember its name but it's worth a look.

Frank P posted a nice summary of free camps. However, once in NSW, most of the far South coast is National Park, and far from free. There are overnight fees (sorry, I cannot remember how much), but they aren't cheap for what is on offer. Mind you, that section of the coast is magnificent for its scenery.

Thanks everyone. Been busy the last couple of days working to earn the holiday we're about to take!!

I really appreciate your feedback - nothing like asking the experts. Will have to try and get organised this time to do a blog myself maybe!

You've given us lots of ideas to choose from!

Thanks again
