After some driving tips, if you can help!

Sydney to Canberra – which route is…
Fastest?
Most interesting?
Most scenic?
Best combination of all three of the above?

Thanks in advance!

I suggest you take the route via Birdsville. Jan or Feb is the best time. 😆

Yossarian, I may just mention the cricket from time to time while over there….! 🙂

Don’t forget to practice your DaveCameronDoingAnImpressionOfTheAussieSheilaPM thang for max effect 😉

make sure you hum the ‘mitchell johnson’ song a lot

and say ‘greaat bawlin’ shaaaaane’ followed by ‘oh, hasn’t he retired, who is your spinner now?’ 😀

I’ve done that drive many times, but the best is really just to take the M5 out of Sydney and pick-up the Bruce Highway.

Any of the alternatives would put hours and hours on your journey.

Everytime I’ve done the trip Lake George has been empty, but I believe it’s quite full now and should be spectacular.

About three hours from Sydney to Canberra if you “fang it”.

Australia 😯 No wonder you wanted to load up on some entertainment for the journey.

And I though I had a travel a lot for work …

Sue, this month has been US (Two cities), Madrid, and then Australia and Singapore to come. Am bored of flying.

Woah – you must be developing a plane seat shaped derrierre!

Ah, I can but dream of flying … try working for an agency that has a ban on flying in Europe (carbon footprint thing – TJ would be proud!).
All travel in Europe has to be by train (or ferry etc) – 32 hours to get to get to Vienna was a particularly bum-numbing experience!

But whether its flying or train, work travel is never much fun is it … sit on transport for hours, spend nights in yet another anonymous corporate hotel, go to meetings all day, return.

But there’s occassional highpoints – tracking wild wolves in forests of Northern Tuscany was fun 🙂

*Sorry, that was a total thread hijack. I know nothing about the best route from Sydney to Canberra …*

ahem

edit: oh and just buy a road map captain, its a big fooking desert, all looks the same anyway – even the men and wimmin look alike.

I cycled from Sydney to Canberra via Kiama, Nowra, Nerriga, Braidwood. Took 5 days, but was very pretty 🙂
