Australia is road trip country. I took a road trip across gorgeous Southeast Victoria and, next, up the section of Australia called the South Coast, which stretches along the coastline off the state of New South Wales from surfy Kiama to the state of Victoria's border. There is some absolutely lovely land here in the land down under, and I'm doing my best to see it while terrorizing drivers...
