Melbourne to Sydney

We drove along the Hume Highway between the two cities and even though it wasn't supposed to be the scenic route, it was brilliant. Just what I (Rich) wanted in a road: two lanes either way; service stations that were actually modern and included McDonald's!; and a fast route to Sydney. I originally wanted to take the scenic Alpine route but that was waterlogged and probably not the best idea during the change from Winter to Spring.

We stopped off at a campsite just passed Albury and then motored onto Sydney the next day. And after driving for a long time, we arrived in Liverpool, which was quite similar to the English Liverpool as it didn't seem like the place you'd want to stop... Only kidding! The thing we did realise was that even though we weren't in Sydney, yet, we could see how much traffic goes through and past the city. Traffic was horrendous but we managed to find the campsite at asking some Sony Ericsson employees and then ringing the campsite for help.

The campsite was actually in a decent location: in a nature reserve and close to the train station. However, the planes taking off would flyover us and the train station closed at the weekend for maintenance so that was good!
