Driving from Melbourne to Sydney via Great Alpine Road?

To do that you'd have to drive east to Bairnsdale then take the Great Alpine Road up to Wangaratta and join the Hume Highway to Sydney. Or I suppose you could take the Hume from Melbourne to Wangaratta, then the GAR to Bairnsdale then the Princes Highway to Sydney. Either way, it's a major diversion. I'd have to say it's well worth the drive; and I'd rather drive the Princes Highway (coast road) than the Hume, if time allowed.

Great Alpine Rd

In Sydney you are able to take pleasure in the organic beauty. From unspoilt beaches to community gardens and, needless to say, the sparkling harbour, Sydney is a town worth visited and with hotelbye you will have the opportunity to do that. The Sydney Harbour Bridge or "Coathanger," since the residents contact it's one of many places you ought not skip in your trip here. This place was the city's best-known landmark just before structure of the Opera House. Supported by significant dual piers at each end, it was built-in 1932 and remains the world's biggest steel arc link, linking the harbour's north and south shores in one single contour increasing 134 metros over the water. Along its length run two railway lines and seven shelves for path traffic, the direction of which can be varied based on traffic flow. Also, to learn concerning the exciting history of the bridge's construction you are able to visit the memorial in the south-eastern pier.

Go to the RACV and ask them for a strip map for the route. If you are a member, it will probably be free.
