We love a good road trip! So over the Easter break, we decide to head down to Melbourne.
With two drivers it could be easily done in one day (around 10 hours drive), but we decided to take it slow and stop along the way.
So here for a little guide and a list of places we visited.
First stop:
Yass ( a little country town 3.5 hours drive from Sydney or 1 hour from Canberra)
Shopping
Ross’s Relics - a treasure chest for all things vintage
Thyme to Taste - great selection of local wines, beers and cheese
Coffee
Thyme to Taste - right next door to the deli
Six8 Coffee Roaster
Lunch
Traders & Co - Good classic cafe dishes (also has a little whole food store inside)
Galutzi Cafe - Great country sandwiches
Albury
Near the NSW/Victoria border, you have the town of Albury (6 hours from Sydney), and that’s where we stopped for the night.
Stay
Astar Motel - A freshly refurbished motel with Palm Spring Vibes
Dinner
Astar - Great classic pub meals
