We had originally planned on driving down to Bateman's Bay and following the coast road along to Melbourne. This would have taken 3-4 days. As we had missed doing the coast road down from Sydney due to the poor weather we decided to stick to driving through the middle and continuing to enjoy the rolling countryside. It also meant we could be in Lakes Entrance in 4 hours rather than 2 days. It was a lovely drive apart from the bucket in the middle of a 3 lane section of motorway which the car in front knocked right in front of us and David had no option but to go directly over it.

So this time we are rectifying that. 5 days covering approx 500 Km. This time we are planning on taking the tra...
