Sydney to Melbourne coach charter

Around 880 km via the Hume, planned within fatigue rules with rest breaks or an overnight stop.

The route

The Hume Highway links Sydney and Melbourne, passing Goulburn, Gundagai, Albury and Wangaratta. At around 880 km, it is a full day of driving before rest breaks are added.

Planning a long trip

Coach drivers work within heavy vehicle fatigue laws, which limit driving hours and require regular rest. For Sydney to Melbourne we plan the timetable around those limits, which usually means an overnight stop on the way. Popular stopovers include Albury and Wagga Wagga.
