Autumn Downunder Roadtrip Itinerary

Sleepy J is ready for a road trip

Here is my entire itinerary for a trip to Sydney and a roadtrip through parts of New South Wales and Victoria.

Total number of days: 14

Total number of people travelling together: 5 adults, 1 infant (7 months old)

Primary mode of transport: 7 seater SUV rental car

Meet the locals

Travel tip: Invest in a good GPS (global positioning system) which saves the hassle of arguing over driving directions. Most rental companies will rent a GPS for a small fee, but if you are a frequent traveller who loves the open road, it’s worth getting your own system. For this trip, we used a Garmin GPS.

Sydney is a pram-friendly city!
