I went to Adelaide a couple of years back for the first time from Melbourne doing a car delivery job and it was like Melbourne in the early 60's again!! I loved it!! People are so friendly too...
Love it! I've done that drive more times than I can count, and I can tell you that if you left Melbourne in midmorning and got into Adelaide in midafternoon with rest stops you were hoofing it, mate! Just a note to others who might try to replicate this feat: There are point to point cameras on the SE Freeway out of Adelaide to Murray Bridge, between Tailem Bend and Coonalpyn, between Kaniva and Dimboola, Beaufort and Ballarat, and along the Western Freeway in Melbourne. Stick to the speed limits in those zones if you want to keep your licence. You can pretty much get away with leadfooting it from Coonalpyn to Bordertown, and Dimboola through Horsham, Stawell and Ararat, as long as you slow down through the towns and about 5-10 k's either side - the cops watch the highways there.. Also watch it at the SA/Vic border because the Vic pigs love nailing South Australians doing the SA 110 limit into 100-limited Victoria. Other than that, sitting on the ton out in the donga is a pretty safe bet!
Mystikan This is great advice, cheers mate.. I plan to drive from Melbourne to a Sydney and Adelaide in 2019 when my 4x4 arrives, I'll remember this comment when I think of speeding in those areas.
Interesting to see Keith. I used to live near Keith in Scotland it was named for, and I remember the local library had an exhibition when I was growing up about the Aussie Keith.

Even though this was a few years ago, I see the trip hasn’t changed much. My parents dragged me to Melbourne in 1994. Hated it the entire time. Was that excited coming home during the night and the view from Eagle On The Hill-Devils Elbow out over the Adelaide CBD as the sun was rising was one of the most beautiful sights I’d ever seen. From memory I actually cried because I was that happy to be back home. Since that day aside from the occasional day trips into country South Australia - I’ve never left my home. 😊 Just a shame that the tunnels while much safer now completely obscure that view from the top of the hill.
I think there should be a four lane highway system between Adelaide and Melbourne. Ive been between the cities once (I do currently reside in Adelaide) and it should be a two lane just like they have between Sydney and Melbourne. Saying that the terrain is a lot more flatter from Adelaide to Melbourne than it is from Melbourne to Sydney, especially when you get within the outskirts of the A.C.T region. Though I may be bias saying that as I used to live in Canberra and got used to four lane highways with 100kmh speed limits taking you from suburb to suburb.
I would say it’s too expensive to build a multi-lane one especially when the demand isn't high😂 In the urban areas it's easy to find three / four lanes of highway tho
TJBellamy99 in city centers yes because the cities were designed that way. There isn't a high enough population density and population in Australia to require massive highways Between cities.
Everyone is 100x faster than what it should be. Speed limit is 70 mph (110 km/h) now everyone going at 70000 mph (110000 km/h). Speed limit is very strict in Australia despite its huge land.
Masters have closed down now (Opened 1st store Aug/Sep 2011 and Closed Dec 2016). They were a joint venture between Woolworths Australia and Lowes (USA). They were competing with the well established Bunnings Warehouse chain owned by Wesfarmers (HQ in Western Australia)
Hi there! If you plan to stay in the city, I would recommend The South Australian Museum, Art Gallery, Adelaide Oval if you want to catch a game of cricket or Aussie Rules. From the city, you can also catch a tram to Glenelg which I would also recommend. One of my favourite routes I like to take guests up to Mount Lofty, Hahndorf, Woodside (chocolate factory) then Gumeracha (Giant Rocking Horse), but you do need a vehicle for that. Lobethal is also great during Christmas because of the lights. Hope this helps.
Melbourne to Adelaide looks nice and smooth. The Sturt Highway between Wagga Wagga and Victoria is full of holes and a goat track by comparison. Says a lot about NSW I'm afraid🙄
Thank you! It's a nice drive! There are plenty of petrol stations on the way. Most of the towns are spaced about 40 - 50 km apart so there are plenty to choose from.
Fun to see the Western Highway do all this while the Princes Highway just takes the long way culminating in being demoted to a B state route in the SA southeastern hinterland
Wow! Is this the easiest and/or fastest way to get from Melbourne to Adelaide? Are there any other routes? I am actually planning from Adelaide to Melbourne; I assume it will be the same route, just opposite? Also it will be our first time there.
Nilsfried A lot of classical music had lyrics. Adelaide is a song by Beethoven with vocals: "Einsam wandelt dein Freund im Frühlingsgarten, Mild vom lieblichen Zauberlicht umflossen ..."

Isn't "hoofing it" slang for walking slowly? I think you meant to say he was gunning it 😅

I like the music that begins at 4:51
Can you do the old Hume highway?
Even though this was a few years ago, I see the trip hasn’t changed much.
My parents dragged me to Melbourne in 1994.
Hated it the entire time.
Was that excited coming home during the night and the view from Eagle On The Hill-Devils Elbow out over the Adelaide CBD as the sun was rising was one of the most beautiful sights I’d ever seen. From memory I actually cried because I was that happy to be back home.

You can still exit at eagle and do the old way instead

Z-Series yep. the western and dukes should be freeway standard
Population: 25 million
Area: 7.8 million sq km
Density: 3.1 per sq km
Yeah but traffic levels are too low to demand a 4 lane highway. Also it's a very expensive project
I would say it’s too expensive to build a multi-lane one especially when the demand isn't high😂 In the urban areas it's easy to find three / four lanes of highway tho
Love your Aussie road trips
done this before without a rest stop, now about to do it again in 3 days....But will stop and might even stay in Horsham this time :)
You should do more Adelaide ones
I have a whole playlist for Adelaide!!!
24 videos! Take your pick!

Do Australia not have freeways between large cities; like our Interstates here in America?
TJBellamy99 in city centers yes because the cities were designed that way.
There isn't a high enough population density and population in Australia to require massive highways Between cities.
Cameron cook I think they're required, but there's more votes won by upgrading city roads obviously.
Melbourne to Sydney
Hey thanks for the great video. Could you please tell me what the soundtrack is? I'd love to play this in my car as I'm driving along. Thanks
Must of took a really long time to get there
I'm planning on doing this very route in a few months. Sigh! If only it really took 7.46!
Everyone is 100x faster than what it should be. Speed limit is 70 mph (110 km/h) now everyone going at 70000 mph (110000 km/h). Speed limit is very strict in Australia despite its huge land.

I think this guy has a Ferrari or Porsche... and he must have gotten some tickets...😆😆😆...
wow great vid
Thank you!
What's the store you stopped at in Ballarat at about 1:41?
+dvferyance We stopped at Masters. My friend wanted to buy a step ladder
I see it's probably the Home Depot of Australia.
Masters is only fairly new. The main one is Bunnings Warehouse, followed by Home, Timber and Hardware, Mitre 10, etc.
Where does Masters come from?
Masters have closed down now (Opened 1st store Aug/Sep 2011 and Closed Dec 2016). They were a joint venture between Woolworths Australia and Lowes (USA). They were competing with the well established Bunnings Warehouse chain owned by Wesfarmers (HQ in Western Australia)
Man, you were bookin it!

Good. I live in Adelaide

Hi thanks mate it was really helpful. Looking forward to explore this beautiful city:)
one more thing how is gonna be the weather in late December???
I drove on this Highway the yesterday
How do make the road signs appear on the screen? What kind of software do you use?
Probably recreates them 1 for 1
Melbourne to Adelaide looks nice and smooth. The Sturt Highway between Wagga Wagga and Victoria is full of holes and a goat track by comparison.
Says a lot about NSW I'm afraid🙄
There are many help phones 📞 throughout the Melbourne freeways and tollways and motorways these phones are called vic roads “help phones”
Did you have a reason do drive to Adelaide? Or did you do it for the fun of it?
I hope to do this one day on a motorbike, are there many petrol stations on the way?
P.S.......... Subscribed.
Thank you!

Western hwy duplication now ends at other side of buganor now
can you upload in real time?
gbut video going very fast cant see anything
Did you film this drive just for the youtube video
Mega Extravaganza lol, of course not!
It's a full day's drive. I had a holiday in Victoria and filmed this on the return
It really should be a 4 lane dual carriageway highway between Melbourne and Adelaide.
Nice Video dude....what is the best city for a black immigrant, Melbourne or Adelaide? Thanks
melbourne
Sorry. Just saw the song name at the end!haha
Can u please make more long driving videos it will be very great 🙂
Adelaide,
.awesome city,Adelaide masses,
I watched at speed 0.25. It looked like stop-motion. And I heard Gang of Youths. Yeah... I like it....😊😊😊...
Fun to see the Western Highway do all this while the Princes Highway just takes the long way culminating in being demoted to a B state route in the SA southeastern hinterland
0:50-0:55 when your stuck in traffic

I am watching this on 2X speed
I wish Hey Duggee would like to see this.

just take the Western Hwy thats the shortest route there going thru Geelong takes twice as long
It's best for me that i go on a plane there.

Should've used Ben Folds song!😄
Do the same trip without motorways
4:36 haha
Crapphus Marsh
60 times faster than real time (60th comment)
Try to avoid motorways in your videos there are plenty of other ways to get there I won’t go into detail as to why but try to avoid
It's faster to take the motorways though
It's best for me that i go on a plane there.
