How long a drive is it straight across versus taking the scenic shoreline route? One friend (married to an Aussie from SA) told me that Sydney-Adelaide coastal route is about 12-14 hours.



Also, if we do take the coastal route, can anyone suggest decent towns/hotels to overnight in? I'd like to drive for no more than 8 hours a day.

Any tips from the boys down'unda would be greatly appreciated.



If a friend said the trip around the coast would be about 12 - 14 hours he is dreaming.

The coast road from Sydney to Adelaide is approx 2000 Klms. (1200 miles) of which there are very little freeway.

I did the trip many years ago by car and there are some fantastic places to see and stay. There are plenty of motels and van parks where you can get an overnight cabin at reasonabl rates.

If you want to have the snow experience you will have to travel inland into the Snowey Mountains.

Go to Google Maps and do a route search of the places you want to see and you will see what I mean. Sydney to Melbourne is only around the Southeast corner.
