With numerous car rental Sydney and car rental Melbourne alternatives along the coast, renting a vehicle is the easiest way to make your way around. Car hire companies are more than willing to help you plan your trip and pin point the main tourist attractions along the way. Car agencies are perpetually running promotions and deals. I managed to secure a fantastic one way special to Melbourne at a car rental in Sydney.

I began my journey by heading south from Sydney through the Royal National Park. The Grand Pacific Drive is breathtaking. There are lots of coastal villages along the way and I enjoyed exploring and spending some time there. I also spent a a couple of hours soaking up the busy city of Wollongong before heading to Jervis Bay.

I took a cruise the next day to see the dolphins that Jervis Bay is best-known for. I fell in love with the beaches and had a hard time deciding whether to stay or go. Further south I managed to buy some great, high quality craft items in the historic villages of Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba.

I swam in the lagoon at Mimosa Rocks National Park and then drove a little further stopping to watch surfers at Tathra Beach. That evening I stayed in the classy village of Metung and had a fantastic seafood platter in one of the lakeside eateries.

Wilsons Promontory National Park is home to great scenery and an abundance of wildlife such as emus, wombats and kangaroos. I spent an entire day hiking through eucalypt forests, exploring beaches and coves and climbing on granite mountains.

Next checkpoint was Fish Creek, a small, quirky and thriving town with arts and crafts, books and cafes. I drove across the bridge over to Phillip Island, a popular family stop. At Nobbies Centre you can watch the penquins strutting up and down the beach and see one of Australia’s largest fur seal colonies.

As initially planned, I ended my trip in Melbourne making my last stop at the heritage farm on Churchill Island. Hiring a car was the single best decision I have made, taking the coastal drive from Sydney to Melbourne at my own pace was truly an experience. Next time I may get a car rental in Melbourne and do this trip the other direction!
