Our 8 day driving trip from Sydney to Melbourne is under way with the first leg taking the coast road for some dramatic sea views along the Grand Pacific Drive from the Royal National Park, over the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge and then turning inland to stop the first night at Bomaderry. Total driving distance was about 170km. Once out of Sydney, roads were not too busy by UK standards though there are many changes in speed limits which require constant attention including mobile and fixed speed cameras and time-specific limits of 40km/hr around all schools.
