Planning trip advice

Go South through Sydney and Canberra then via Cooma, Bombala, Cann River to Melbourne, Return By the Newell Highway through Tocumwal, Jerilderie, Narrandera, Forbes (The Centre of the Universe) Parkes (Well they do have the Radio Telescope) Coonabarabran (The Warrumbungles) and north to QLD.

Hi Peter and Robyn,

You don't mention when you plan to do your trip or how long you plan to be away - both these things could have a bearing on which way you travel. Or whether you are towing anything?

If you want to just stick to the major roads then use the route suggested. If you want to get away from the highways, but still stay on bitumen you could go south along the coast from Sydney to Batemans Bay and then go up the Clyde Mtn to Canberra.

Or you could go along the coast all the way to Melbourne and come back up the Hume to Canberra, or cut across on the Snowy Mtns Highway (some winding sections but very scenic).

Just make sure you have a good road atlas/map and you will find a lot of options as to which way to go.

Cheers,

Val
