Hi people. I'm planning a family holiday in Australia month; a week in Melbourne & Adelaide. Has anyone got any experience spending time in Mel then, slow easy drive into Adelaide? Any good recommendation for service apartment, tourist sites and car rental? I'm planning maybe 4 days in Mel, 3 days in Adel. Thanks for your kind sharing

Search through the forum and found most discussion for self drive for Australia are either Perth or Sydney. Any bros here self drive in Adelaide? Any special/must visit place others than those wine vale? I am also gathering imformation from best friend Google.

pls share itinerary for Adelaide - 1 week -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hi, gg there for post grad study for 2 weeks in Jan next yr. tot after 2 weeks can get my wife and son-2+yrs along for 1 week in Adelaide. any itinerary to share? some told me Adelaide good for 2 days, but i should drive ocean road to Melborne and back. what u guys think?

Hi all.. my first new thread in the new interface MCF I'm thinking of doing a self-drive from Adelaide to Melbourne some time in Feb, and would like to ask some questions. The very rough plan is to drive from adelaide to melbourne over 5-6 days. Do sightseeing along GOR (sightseeing anywhere and everywhere lah) for about 2 days, then arrive at melbourne and maybe visit philip island. is that too ambitious? I'm thinking the total distance will be about 1000kms. I'm ok with long distance road trips, having done SG to penang, penang to SG a few times and stopping just for food/petrol/pee. of course, aussie driving conditions are different. i expect (i may be mistaken though) stricter enforcement of speed limits, lower speed limits, less petrol kiosk in between, and curvier roads. also, i don't plan to do more than 300km in any one day. probably will drive and stop whenever we feel like it. However, only one driver, and that's me. my wife is an OK co-driver in the sense that she stays awake, talks to me and helps look out for stuff. But she's hopeless with maps is it possible to rent a car from adelaide and return it at melbourne? based on the air fares, it seems best to go from adelaide to melbourne and not the other way around. alternatively, is it better to just start from melbourne and do GOR both ways? the air fare would be even cheaper cos return flight from SG to melbourne. but i prefer the idea of a journey from A-B rather than a loop. i'm open to suggestions. been reading some articles online but nothing beats feedback from fellow forumers who have been there and done that. Admin and immigration issues... besides applying for the australia ETA online, nothing else right? are non-biometric passports allowed for travel down under?

for about 2 weeks? itenaries welcome!
