F: The Bluff, WA

The ideal itinerary for your winter road trip

A: East coast way to South Aus, then back inland.

C: Jump in the vanno, blare music from the 2000’s and arrive at my destination feeling like an absolute queen. From there, I’d surf then have a sunset bev & hit the hay by 8 ('cause I’m a granny).
