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 ...*

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