Which way?

Something we do from time to time if we have no clue at all is to take the absolute shortest route. It often brings unexpected surprises, but is rarely quick.

"Wilson's Bluff" didn't look like that when I last saw it!

EDIT: With a replaced photo it now looks like Wilson's. lol

Last year we did Sydney down the Hume to Marulan and to Bungonia Caves - just the gorge views. Followed Shoalhaven R upstream to camp at Oallen Ford - camp 1. Then Braidwood. kept going to near Wyanbene C2, then Numeralla to Cooma. It began to rain so spent pm at Nimmitabel and onto Black Lake N of Bombala C3.
Then to Delegate and McKillops Bridge. Took the very narrow track to Little River C4, then Buchan Caves tour. Hit the hwy and onto Melbourne.
Previously we have done the Prom - camp at Shallow Inlet. Take the ferry from Sorrento to Queenscliff and bingo you're in Geelong.

Down the coast. Way more interesting. Naturally takes time to do and so many things to see. Unlike the Hume you have to go through every town. Either that or head to Bathurst and meander down the center of the state

Batemans Bay, Braidwood, Cooma, Bombala, Delgate,Deddick, Buchan, Melbourne.

There is some beautiful countryside in that area.

Hi Michelle
Last time we travelled from Toowoomba to Melbourne I planned a route that avoided highways. It was mostly good secondary roads apart from about 20km on highways which was sort of unavoidable without becoming pedantic about it all. It ended up being a most enjoyable trip all be it somewhat slower. I love the old highways which are usually good roads with not much traffic but still go through those interesting little towns that the new highways bypass. Of course one has to stop and walk some of the streets to get a feel and appreciation for them, and of course my wife will drag me into a coffee shop as well.
All this sort of reinforces what several others have also eluded to like taking the shortest but not the quickest route etc.. Travelling and camping along the Murray R. was a pleasant part of that trip. Certainly did not take the shortest possible route but you get the idea.
Enjoy your trip.

East cost will be busy,and most probably booked out, but further down, Croajingalong NP is an awsome place to drop roots for a few days, via mimosa rocks NP
If its sight seeing your wanting, blue mountains, oberon, Kiangra walls, Crookwell, wee jasper, back way to Jugiong along the river, Gundagai Junee wagga, etc etc

We leave Sydney around the 11th of February, after visiting friends in Wagga, we are heading into the Victorian wheatbelt to check out the Silo art trail before heading to Mt Gambier, Adelaide and then back to Busselton. Whatever route you choose , I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
We were going to go to Canberra, down to the Snowies, into Victoria along the coast to Melbourne and up to the wheatbelt but decided we didn't want to go through Melbourne.

If I was going to Geelong I wouldn't start in Sydney ...

Sorry, it's an old joke but I couldn't help myself.

Have a Nullarbor crossing on the cards next year . I've made note of your camping spots.

Enjoy Tasmania. I was there many decades ago. It's special.

Cheers

Thanks to all the replies - no one suggested either of the 2 options I had mapped out which was interesting… im still reviewing each of the suggestions so apologies for my lack of replies. Im still working through it it.
