Adelaide to Melbourne to Sydney

Possible to drive?

I also hear that flights are expensive within Australia? forgive me for not using google... but someone said Melbourne to Sydney is a 3 day drive?

Is Melbourne to Adelaide a long drive too? Flights that expensive?

No trains? 


Thanks for ya help guys.

Flights from Adelaide to Melbourne can be found for about $150 up, and likewise Melbourne to Sydney.

Adelaide to Sydney is about $250.

And you can always find cheaper flights. Virgin have "Happy Hour" every day 12-1 and offer cheap flights.

So not that expensive really.

Not sure if there's a train from Melbourne to Sydney but there's a train from Adelaide to Melbourne. It costs about $100.

Not a 3 day drive, not sure how long. Bout 14 or 15 hours?


You can make it in about 7 hours.

the drive to melb is more realistically 9hrs, usually takes us 10 with stops and traffic

double it for adelaide to sydney (think it was 17 last time). recommend staying in Hay at half way, nice little town. good caravan park. used to do it every year.

Have never made it to Melb in more than 8 hours. Helps to not stop, be lucky with traffic and miss any coppers coming the other way.

ahh thats fantastic

Melbourne to Adelaide 9 hours (sounds about where I live currently to Scotland)

Thats great, its not half as bad as I thought! 


Thanks alot for your help!

pfff yeh but its silly to tell a tourist or someone new to our roads to do it in a shorter time

If I was her it would be cheaper and more comfortable to fly it, if she takes into consideration car hire etc

yep there is!!! its cheap if u are a student or have a International Youth or Student card, ATM do you qualify for either?? Its about 10 hours by train, from Melbourne to Sydney, and its a great trip! U see a lot of the countryside if you go by day, otherwise it's not too bad overnite. Much more comfy than the coach!

No student im afraid. I will have a car though im planning to buy one in Feb so it should be cool 
Im pretty gutted its costing me £2000 to fly my kittys over but there is no way they are stayin at home. 

if u are under 26, u can get the ISTC card.. its worth getting! loads of discounts n the like
