"You could have a squiz at a couple of tours on my website that are quite good for the general direction of Sydney-Melbourne.
Melbourne/Bairnsdale to Newcastle was a great ride, but you would need to do it in reverse. Jamberoo Pass near…"

baa baa replied to Charlie Burnett's discussion Sydney to Melbourne in October 2009 - route suggestions?!"That would work but the if you miss the road from Pambula , DO NOT go up over the hills from Eden to Bombala.
This way is a killer and you seem to go up, always up.
You are really on your own out that way and while the views are great, this is still…"
RobK replied to Charlie Burnett's discussion Sydney to Melbourne in October 2009 - route suggestions?!"Here is the route and description of a 4 day tour from Sydney to Canberra, using mainly back roads (some unsealed) which I did in April. I've also got some ideas for traveling further south if interested. In Victoria, bikes can just be wheeled…"
Adrian replied to Charlie Burnett's discussion Sydney to Melbourne in October 2009 - route suggestions?!"Hi Charlie,
I'd rode from Sydney to Melbourne via the inland (and hume hwy) a few months ago. It was fun but probably not the best touring. I was in a hurry and did it in 4.5 days. You can avoid the Hume hwy for 2/3rds of the ride but its…"
baa baa replied to Charlie Burnett's discussion Sydney to Melbourne in October 2009 - route suggestions?!"Oct is a nice time to ride. No holiday traffic and cool to warm longish days.
I think both the bush and the coast are nice rides, if you wish to camp and have time, I think the coast is the way to go as it has plenty of places to tent up and sleep…"
Joel replied to Charlie Burnett's discussion Sydney to Melbourne in October 2009 - route suggestions?!"The Sydney-Melbourne 1200km Audax Australia event is being held later this year. I know parts of the route, and it's all over fairly friendly roads. Highways in Australia are not suitable for cyclists, in my opinion. The route maps for the four…"

More info on your interests and available time would help to advise you."
Neil Alexander replied to Charlie Burnett's discussion Sydney to Melbourne in October 2009 - route suggestions?!"Princes Hwy: Busy, often narrow, scenic but hilly (not mountainous).
Hard to know whether it would be worth you riding it without more detail of your experience, interests, comfort in traffic, time available. I would recommend allowing at least two…"

Hi Sydney Cycle-folk,I'm coming to Sydney (from Victoria BC Canada) for a conference in mid-October '09 and have friends in Melbourne to visit. Could you give me some hints on this here "Princes" Highway route? Worth it? I like longer rides, but not if they're completely dull, or extremely hilly.I have an aluminum touring bike with panniers and a tent,...Would it be better to train/fly to Melbourne and ride around there?Thanks!
