Sydney to Melbourne Coastal Drive

Head south out of Sydney, through the Royal National Park and past stunning coastal scenery as you follow the Grand Pacific Drive towards Jervis Bay. Explore the historic township of Huskisson or opt to take a dolphin cruise.

Depart Huskisson and continue south towards Narooma, known for its unspoilt beaches, lakes and fishing. Continue to Tilba Tilba, at the foot of Mount Dromedary, a haven for high quality local arts and crafts.

Follow the Princes Highway, and along the amazing Sapphire Coast, on the way to the state border of New South Wales and Victoria. Stop at the city of Merimbula before crossing the border into Victoria to Gipsy Point.

From Gipsy Point head south towards Lakes Entrance, a unique area with rivers, lakes and lagoons joining 90 Mile Beach. Take a cruise or a sail around Australia’s largest inland waterway.

Leaving Lakes Entrance drive through the Victorian bushland, including Holey Plains State Park. Continue south to reach the extraordinary Wilsons Promontory, with its green forests, stunning mountains, rocky rivers, and long sandy beaches.

The drive from Wilsons Promontory to Phillip Island boasts stunning views of Victoria’s southern coast. Stop at Bunurong Marine and Coastal Park at Cape Paterson, where you can discover the fascinating world of the marine environment, before arriving into Phillip Island, home to Australia's famous Little Penguins.
