Great Ocean Road

With the weather warming up, I'm seriously considering a trip up to Great Ocean Road. At first I was thinking of just making it a daytrip, but given how far away it is, maybe an overnight stay would be a better idea. I'm also unsure of whether to make it a group thing or just to do it solo - is it a bit sad to do such a thing by yourself? Especially the staying-in-a-hotel and dining-at-a-nice-restaurant part?

I think the reason I'm so energised by the idea is the name of the place; Great Ocean Road just strikes me as a great name, and the more I think about it the more inspired I feel. Story ideas are already bubbling in my head about it.

Ideally, I'd take the trip after getting the laptop I'm considering ponying up the dosh to get, but I don't know if I can hold out that long.

Of course, I have to take into account that this is all probably just pie-in-the-sky thinking on my part, and will just be added to the pile of things I always intended to do but never got around to.
