You can drive to Melbourne in less than a day, but what's the hurry? Take the scenic route, starting with a pleasant three hour drive to Canberra, the nation's capital. Created for the sole purpose of providing a capital for the new Commonwealth of Australia, Canberra has a rich cultural and political history.

Suggested Activity: Visit Old Parliament House, which acted as the house of Austarlian Parliament from its opening in 1927 until 1988, upon the completion of the new Parliament House. Now a funcitoning museum, take a guided tour or go at your won pace to learn about the political history of Australian democracy.

Venture inland through the New South Wales country-side, down to the riverside twin-city of Albury-Wodonga. The Murray and Darling river basin provides an abundant fresh water source, giving this region the title of Australia's food bowl.

Suggested Activity: Take a stroll around some of Lake Hume, which is six times the size of Sydney Harbour, and offers a vast array of native flora and fauna.

Head further along the Murray river up to Echuca, another border town with its paddlesteamers giving it a unique river country charm.

Suggested Activity: Take a detour through Glenrowan and Beechworth, Ned Kelly country. Glenrowan was the site of the standoff and final capture of the infamous bushranger and his gang, with nearby Beechworth home to the Ned Kelly Vault Museum where you can learn more about this devisive figure of Australian history.

Only an hour's drive from the border sits the former gold town of Bendigo. Following the discovery of gold in the region in 1850, Bendigo soon became one of the largest cities in the state, which now showcases the rich history of the goldrush.

Suggested Activities: Take a ride on a Vintage Talking Tram, providing audio commentary on the city's gold mining history. Then vist the Golden Dragon Museum, which celebrates the area's Chinese heritage, dating back to the start of the goldrush.

Enjoy a scenic drive through the gold fields back to Melbourne, the capital of Victoria and the nation's second largest city.

Suggested Activity: Journey back to Melbourne via Ballarat, one of the other major gold rush towns, and now home to one of the state's largest populations. A visit to Sovereign Hill will take you back in time to the 1850s, where you can see why this part interactive museum part theme park has been named Australia's best 'Major Tourist Attraction’ on four occasions.
