Sydney-Melbourne Touring: Touring Routes
Get behind the wheel and experience stunning scenery between Sydney and Melbourne. Choose from three distinctive touring routes that traverse diverse terrain and take you into welcoming cities, towns and villages located between Australia’s two largest cities. Along the way discover the many histories of the inland route, the mountain adventures of the Alpine road, and the beauty of the beaches and scenic drives along the east coast.
You will experience friendly locals willing to share their knowledge of the area, great regional produce and wine served up fresh at the farm gate, in country bakeries and cafes, cellar doors, and fi ne dining icons, along with a range of accommodation options. You can overnight in heritage mansions, budget hotels or light stations, pitch a tent or captain your own houseboat on the Murray River.
Sydney-Melbourne Coastal Drive
Take the Sydney–Melbourne Coastal Drive which hugs the east coast and offers an optional side trip to Canberra. Explore unique environments in national parks, white sandy beaches, Australia’s largest waterway system, and see whales, seals, penguins and more in the wild. Surf, snorkel, dive wrecks, cast a line, camp by the sea or join a deep sea fishing or sightseeing cruise. |
Sydney-Melbourne Heritage Drive
Drive the Sydney–Melbourne Heritage Drive from Melbourne, through inland Victoria to Australia’s capital city Canberra, and then east to Sydney. Take a journey through the countryside to discover historic gold rush cities with grand architecture, galleries, museums and fascinating arts and crafts. Relax along the Murray River and enjoy aquatic activities and championship golf courses. In Canberra, explore our history and culture at national institutions and attractions. |
Great Alpine Road
The Great Alpine Road is a popular route for the drive between Melbourne and Sydney, which takes you up and over the Victorian Alps. Australia’s highest year-round accessible sealed road winds past lofty mountains, valleys, forests, rivers, vineyards and farms to the ocean. Time your tour to experience an outdoor adventure – take a horse ride on the high plains, go rock climbing, hang gliding, cycling or white water rafting in the warmer months, and ski or snow board in winter. |
