I wouldn't come to the far North In Canada if you think 8 hours is long! Calgary to Vancouver is over 12.5 hours. Vancouver to Toronto is nearly 40 hours and majority of that is in the US as Canadian roads suck. Only 40% of Canadian roads are paved, the rest is gravel.
I live in Sydney and visiting Melbourne is my favourite thing to do. Even if I get the chance to leave at midnight for driving to Melbourne I would do it. I have done it.
1:51:55 I know the Sydney-Canberra part like the back of my hand. For 8 years I drove it every second Sunday afternoon. Maybe Monday afternoon if a long weekend!
You and me both, mate. For nine years (1984 - 1993) I did the Canberra to Sydney run (first Bankstown and then in my final years to Mascot) on a regular basis. The Sydney end has certainly changed in a big way. Glad I'm not doing it now!
Nice video, it's beautiful to travel by vehicle. This trip is like, going from NYC. Where I live up to North Carolina. Keep going with this kind of content. A hug.
Epic drive! Love how on the victorian side of the hume highway it has the wire rope safety barrier along the entirety of the highway... Great work VIC roads 👏👍
Ah, I recognise that acoustic shield on the left at 1:46:30 because it borders a friend's property which I visit every week by walking underneath the freeway at that point. The property's called Garoorigang which still belongs to a descendant of explorer Hamilton Hume of "Hume & Hovell" fame after whom the highway, now the freeway, is named. Yet all we really see of Goulburn here is the signs because the whole town's off to the right. It's more interesting than I thought, though, simply watching your dashcam view. Quite relaxing actually!
I love the positivity here. I love long drives but dread the once or twice yearly drive home to Melbourne from Sydney as I find it so laborious. But it’s nice seeing others so excited by it and maybe I should rethink it!
@@roamingNwatching I much prefer the Sydney to Brisbane drive, which I’m hopefully doing again soon! Have you stopped off at the Tumblong Tavern before? It was shut last time I tried but it looks great.
What a long, strange trip it's been. Thanks to Roaming N Watching for the work you do, video graphing and editing, especially for this long trip. Victoria seemed to have more vegetation along her highways, so it makes sense that they have more wire fencing. I appreciated the transition to nighttime driving. It was interesting to approach Melbourne from the north to see all the changes that have occurred. When I got to the US, the federally-imposed highway speed limit everywhere was 55 mph (88 kph) because of the fuel shortage. Talk about a sucky speed limit. Currently, here in Nevada (and in Utah) the max speed limit is 80 mph (128 kph), which usually gets driven at 85 (137). Believe me, this is plenty fast when you take into account driver fatigue over long distances, amongst other things. I was glad to see the 110 kph limit on the Hume Highway. Basically, driving is pretty much the same all over. And road trips are a lot of fun. I was surprised how much enjoyment I got out of this virtual trip, even though I wasn't driving. BTW, have you driven The Great Alpine Road? What car do you drive? What camera equipment do you use? Do you use an app to review a coordinated view of video vs GPS location? Thanks again. 😄❤👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Sam! I reckon we could be allowed to drive a bit faster than 110 kph on freeway here in Australia, especially in regional area. I've driven The Great Alpine Road with my SUV, back then I didn't start to make videos as one of my hobbies. I'm planning a trip over there with my GoPro 9 and Sony A7 IV in the near future.
Hi did you encounter a lot of roos or other nocturnal animals during twilight driving? Many times, I am too afraid to ride my motorcycle home at night simply for the reason of possibly hitting animals so have to choose to stay in motel for extra night
I think it because of the main highway that there is enough traffic noise the kangaroos tend to keep away from region. If get off the main highway with less traffic noise it certainly more dangerous around twilight time to drive on roads as could easily come across kangaroos. Also at some parts of highway there can be a lot of barriers that make it hard for kangaroos to get where the cars are. I tend to not drive at night but I drove from Sydney to Melbourne a few months back and was not really an issue at night to be approaching Melbourne after dark with similar traffic amount as here. Many years back the I drove at night plenty of times but one time made the mistake of trying to drive an hour or two extra late at night. I think it was somewhere northern New South Wales on way to Queensland I drove out of one town and about 100 kilometres before next town and the road was very straight and did not see much traffic all the way, which I understood why later on when I just kept coming across so many kangaroos on the highway, you had to drive so slow it made the initial decision to drive an extra hour before sleep pointless because I was not making much progress. Thankfully never actually hit a kangaroo but literally saw hundreds for about an hour or more and many times there was a big group of them on the highway all at once that needed to drive around 5 km/h an hour just to navigate around them. As a result any time, I do long trips now I barely keep driving after the sun going down. The only places I willing to do it is on a highway like this approaching Melbourne where there so many other vehicles, the noise must keep kangaroos well away. If you came via Yea or Yarra Glen there no chance I would drive at night.
Such a good road. I feel like the speed limit really needs to be increased to 130km/h on sunny days like this. Road is so boring at 110. I don't think it will happen though unfortunately as the cops are ruthless with speeding along there, especially near Goulburn.
@Tanya Spotting Nanny state victoria has zero tolerance for speeding. It's widely accepted that NSW gives you 10 percent. You can (and often will) be booked in Victoria for just 2km/h over the limit. It's revenue raising but what can you do?

I love the wide medians of this highway. This is more like U.S. Interstate highways with the wide medians, this is my favorite highway feature. No headlights in your face, no need to think about opposing traffic veering into your lane, wide medians, the wider the better. I'd love to drive this road but afraid I will make a mistake since I drive on the right in the U.S.
@@roamingNwatching Thanks. I've done it in the UK (I got more than my share of horns, because I take it slow). I always repeat LARD (Left Alive, Right Die). My biggest issue is parking believe it or not. My programmed spatial cues are really different.
@@gregw9289 Good date. In these parts, more than anything else in South America, the La Niña phenomenon has had a devastating effect. Thanks greetings.
Well driven my friend. The highway was reasonably quiet. I’ve driven the whole length two or three times and I drive the Goulburn to Wangaratta section a couple of times a year on way to the NSW south coast. I know it very well but it looks quite different through the lens so often hard to pick where you are because of the limited vision and not being able to read the road signs despite it being 4K video. And the hills get flattened out. But well done.
Ah, there's the sign for the "MURRAY RIVER Spirit of Progress Bridge" at 5:03:45. I was wondering why that point was the "Most replayed" part of the drive between Sydney and Melbourne. It's where we cross from New South Wales to Mexico!
Someday when its a Bad weather day here in the NYC Area ,,,,, I will have to throw on TRIPLEJ and play this the entire 8 Hours,,,, get the real Aussie feel..... Triple J is Owned By the ABC(australian Broadcasting Commission) Best Music channel on earth
I'm planning to do this drive by end of the year for an experience. What are the best 2 places to stop for a coffee and toilet break? Also how many hours drive did u start to get tired?
it is not wide with many lanes like USA, it is a narrow highway, looks like a main road in an area of any city. Are these what aussie highways look like????
Once you get outside the metro areas of Australian cities it becomes like this.country hwys . Really dangerous for driving high speed with all the trucks and wildlife
Australian roads are some of the most narrow in the world. I don't know why the government let lobby groups convince them to copy the Americans and let motorbikes lane split. I never seen a bike "lane filter" legally, even the police make mistakes. Most motorbikes use lane splitting as an excuse for reckless illegal negligent driving.
8 hours is how long it takes me to get from Long Island to Buffalo, New York I feel Australians are probably the only people on the planet that understand what a long-distance drive is.
@@roamingNwatching I've heard stories where there's no gas stations for hundreds of miles in every direction. Do people get stranded constantly when traveling in the outback?
Amazing video mate. Congratulations! Could I use this video for my channel? Obviously, I will mention your channel as you recorded it. Let me know. Regards
Awesome video mate, few questions: 1. What were you using to record? 2. How did you manage the battery 3. internal or external recording and what were you using to mount? 4. Did you stop?!?!
An iPhone 13 Pro Max with special mount which can be installed inside of the vehicle has been used for this video. With the special mount you can charge your phone and connect to a external mic at the same time
You see the great thing about this and similar videos is that I can get to “ride” from Sydney to Melbourne living almost literally in the other side of the world (Caribbean). FOR FREE! Thank you!
Hello love people - I really hope someone is going to see my question and reply me - 1. I am new driver on my red Ps. I was wondering is it a beginner friendly road? by that I mean - will I be expecting lots of hard lane changes? or is it pretty much staying on the left and just going for a long time? 2. I was planning on taking a 1 night break in some hotel in the middle. Which area should be good for that? 3. Please add any other tips that might help me. 😊😊😊😊 ***** Guysss I completed this on my red P. I stopped at Alburry for the night. I shared the drive with my partner ( sorry I should have mentioned I am driving with someone). My experience as new driver on red P was it increased my overall confidence tenfolds. From my house at Parramatta I drove 4 hours straight without any issue ( my car is nissan x trail which is very comfortable) . Then my partner drove to albury. Next morning I drove till Melbourne city then my partner drove inside the city. I also drove from geelong to great ocean road. This drive made me extremely confident and comfortable with the overall driving experience 😍😍😍😍.
Assuming Sydney to Melbourne: 1. Once you are on M31, not many lane changes. But watch out as the left lane sometimes might become an exit lane and you have to move to the right lane 2. Albury 3. Your speed will be limited to 90 km/h for red P. Learn how to merge into M31 as this is the most difficult part for new drivers; it requires matching the speed of cars on left lane of M31, indicating right, finding a gap and then merge. Be careful when there are exits off M31 as someone might cut you off in order to exit off M31. Follow the 3 second following rule. Do not drive at night or twilight hours. Use these features if your car has these (they might have different terms): adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane centering assist. Finally, I don't recommend such a long drive if you are new; try Sydney to Canberra first.
Nice video mate!!!😀Jus out of curiousity what car were you driving, judging by the indicator sound and ig road noise I'm gonna take a guess and say you were driving a Honda CRV?
Very boring terrain between the main route of Sydney to Melbourne. Try driving around Tassie for 8 hours. The scenery is mind blowing the whole way around.
why am i watching this lol. ive done the trip multiple times when i moved to victoria and back twice. and when i travled around australia and did the grate ochen road trip. NGL one of the more boring australian trip from sydney to melberm is.
Omg,no little coffee shop, toilets,little restaurants, gas stations?full emptiness wtf It is empty between major cities in Canada too but not that empty ,you must be prepared before a road trip like this in Australia

An awesome vid with a serendipitous ending...good stuff!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video mate!!!😀Jus out of curiousity what car were you driving, judging by the indicator sound and ig road noise I'm gonna take a guess and say you were driving a Honda CRV?
Very close 😜 Thanks for watching mate!
Nice day, nice ride 😊
Yes, thank you!😀
Do you have any advice for staying awake during the entire 8 hours?
Don’t eat too much before you go and have 1-2 coffee breaks.
Is this coastal, or inland route from sydney to melbourne
This Hume Highway (M31), inland route.
Looks similar to driving on uk motorways and dual-carriageways except the speed is in kilometers and not in miles.
pretty much so. Thanks for watching!
One of the best drive in the world and both are my favorite cities
Thanks for watching!
5:03:53 The border between NSW and Vic.
Right
One guy in the group chat when I ask if anyone is free this weekend.
Big plan on this weekend? Have fun!
Very boring terrain between the main route of Sydney to Melbourne. Try driving around Tassie for 8 hours. The scenery is mind blowing the whole way around.
Good idea! Thanks mate!
3:21:32 The Dog On The Tuckerbox, five miles from Gundagai
I actually visited that statue on the way to Sydney. Thanks for watching!
Thank you..
Thanks for watching!
i use to go to melbourne at 2023 June 4
When did you rest? It was a long trip. 🤣
Of course I had rest for fuel and coffee ☕️😄
Phwoar! Hardcore hauling!
Thanks for coming!
No music or anything for 8 hours is crazy
Thanks for watching! :)
Not even soft music for kids, eight how they can sit down for 8 hours.
Getting passed Yass to say yes in 2024. Thank the Gods that those concrete surfaces still live there.
I see, it is very difficult to drive a vehicle on the right side, obviously for us in these parts of the world.
Everything goes fine when you sit behind the wheel on the right side😄
Before going overseas play American Truck Simulator for a few weeks! It is good practice for driving on the right.
What is the speed limit?
Mostly 110 km/h
Love the tunnel at 8:06:00
Welcome to Melbourne😄
Spent a lot of time in the right hand Lane in Sydney .its illegal if you are not overtaking...very.bad driving.

Thanks for the visit!
8 HOUR DRIVE TO BENDIGO MORTY
Хайвей в Мельбурне -- супер!!!
Thanks for watching!
I shat myself when that twin cab ute wanted me to get out of their way
😜😂
I prefer the coastal highway (M1).
Me too :) Thanks for watching!
If this is touring Australia today, why leave home?
Thanks for watching!
If you go to Melbourne to Sydney at Night it will turn into Day
You got that right
Set the cruise control to 110 sit back and enjoy the trip and you're laughing
Using the cruise would make me feeling bored😂
Omg,no little coffee shop, toilets,little restaurants, gas stations?full emptiness wtf
It is empty between major cities in Canada too but not that empty ,you must be prepared before a road trip like this in Australia
NOT that bad :) There are actually a few gas stations with toilets and restaurants along the highway.
All of the town's on the route have had bypasses built around them now. They're just a short distance off the highway.
Lol this trip is brutal. From experience
