Many people do the trip in a day, but please don't. If you are doing a return trip to your point of departure, and are planning to drive the full length of the Great Ocean Road, doing in one day is a horrible idea.

It is too far, too long, and you'll be far too tired by the time you get home. This can make the drive very, very dangerous as many accidents occur from people falling asleep while driving home.
