Melbourne to Sydney Drive via the Coast: 8 Must-See Stops in Victoria
Forget the Melbourne to Sydney drive via the inland route, we'll show you the spectacular coastal trip and 8 places to stop that will leave you in awe. In this first part, we'll run through all the towns we stopped at in Gippsland, Victoria: Bairnsdale, Lakes Entrance and Nungurner.
Your first stop after you leave Melbourne will be the vast region of Gippsland that stretches all the way from the outer suburb of Pakenham all the way to the border of New South Wales. The region is GIGANTIC. Driving from one end to the other can take up to 5 hours.
Our first 2 nights saw us staying in the small township of Bairnsdale, where we bunked up at the NRMA Holiday Park which we used as our base to explore Paynesville, Raymond Island and the Buchan Caves.
We moved further east on our final 2 nights, staying at our first off-grid Airbnb - The Folly in Nungurner. From there, we embarked on trips to the popular family holiday spot Lakes Entrance, Ninety Mile Beach and even ventured as far as the Historic Trestle Bridge in Nowa Nowa.
Whether you're road tripping from Melbourne to Sydney, or Sydney to Melbourne, a stop in Lakes Entrance and Gippsland is an absolute must. Famous for being the home of Australia's largest inland waterways, the views and sights will steal your breath away and leave you wanting to return for more.
OUR ACCOMMODATION IN GIPPSLAND:
NRMA Bairnsdale -
The Folly Nungurner -
DISCLAIMERS: Our stay was graciously hosted by NRMA Bairnsdale and The Folly Nungurner. All photos, videos and experiences are, however, our own.
This video was partly sponsored by Doncaster MINI Garage. The 4-door Countryman was the perfect family-friendly set of wheels that got us safely to Sydney and back again (with a helluva lotta fun in between).

THE PATH OF WILDNESS
The Path of Wildness is easy to find
The course of a stream
Leaves blown in the wind
A beast's track through the brush
And the direction of our first inclination
The Path of Wildness is an answer and response to a prescribed way of life which may leave some individuals with a sense that their living is little more than a series of pre-determined, step-like episodes between birth and death. The stages of living between these events: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, parenthood and senior are themselves natural and in accord with the needs of the species and most individuals. Many find their satisfaction in living this course and to these individuals I have little or nothing to say. Others though long for something more; something innate, genetic and seemingly calling. Adventure and change can give a degree of satisfaction and relief yet even these may seem too tame. To those who feel drawn to something beyond the entertainment and stimulation of senses I offer a walk along The Path of Wildness. Don't bother penciling the event in your schedule, preparing a pack with goodies and supplies or even inviting a friend along, for this experience is along the course of your first inclination and you must surely always go alone.
