How can we continue from Kangaroo Island toward the Great Ocean Road without a nine-hour drive?

If using trains or coaches, check the actual timetable and onward transport to your chosen coastal town. Regional services may not connect neatly on the same day.

Compare flying onward and collecting a car closer to the Great Ocean Road with the full one-way rental cost. Include airport transfers and rental drop-off fees in the comparison.

Treat the ferry, Adelaide connection and Victorian road trip as separate legs. An overnight stop near Adelaide or along the route can turn one exhausting day into two manageable ones.
