Yes we've done it in a hire car but weren't camping there.  But in other parts of Australia we rolled up un-booked at camp sites and rented static caravans for one or two nights and moved on. That was going round the south east corner from Sydney to Adelaide. Generally we found a hire car + those static caravans or motels cheaper and easier than campervan hire. We did the same in North Island New Zealand too, and again rejected motor home hire for motels.  Either way round October isn't peak season. 

Greetings,

Before you get to the GOR proper there are towns at the coast that are off the main road and a VERY worthy of the small detour. I'm thinking specifically of Port Fairy and Warnambool. I would hate for you to go past either of those and think it not worth it.
