A very beautiful experience. One of the most scenic roads I have seen till date and the only dampner was the inclement weather with bouts of rain almost every time we chose to stop & take pictures. Would have given it a 5 star but for the weather so they loose a star for no fault of thiers. The Driver-tour guide was very friendly & informative. Inspite of the rains we managed to get some good pictures of most of the scenic spots and even managed to spot some wild life like Koala, kookaburra, Kangaroos and even a snake.
