Sydney to Melbourne Coastal Drive | Sydney Melbourne Touring

Taking a drive along Australia’s south eastern coast is a memorable experience. This is a coastline of vivid colours. From the turquoise-hues and blinding white sands of Jervis Bay to the emerald, green wilderness of the Croajingolong National Park. Water-babies can surf, dive the numerous wrecks, sail, or head out on whale watching tours, whilst land-lovers can explore charming fishing villages and country towns, cultural and heritage sites, and hike through verdant national parks. This is also the place to see Australia’s wildlife in its natural habitat. Spot kangaroos playing on deserted beaches, seals and seabirds and penguins in the wild.
