Well have decided that it is probably cheaper to drive than train, and the train/buses all arrive Canberra in the early evening or late afternoon - which would mean having to stay over in canberra the night, which we certainly cannot afford.
Anyway, still in the air, but my sister might come if she can take the monday off work...
Thanks for the info girls
And Kristy thanks so much for the offer that is really lovely! I will keep it in mind if we go Thanks!
omg, i am such a der brain. If you were to stay at my place you would be driving about 5 hours OUT OF your way SInce newcastle is north of canberra!! For some reason i thought yu were coming from QLD. Oh well, if you fell like a road trip, go right ahead
alexis its about a 6 hour drive from melbourne, its an easy drive to albury as it a dual carriage HWY, from albury (though its been duplicated) some is still single lane, id highly recommend you take your sister and share the driving, its safer!! id leave early then get off the hwy at albury for brekky then keep going on to canberra! have fun!
Most of albury to here is dual carriage now. There weren't many singles when we drove back last month. Made me so happy! However we only went down for three days and it was more open on the way back. Could change at the drop of a hat/ And yeah it's about 6-7 hours depending on where you're driving from.
We have a 1995 Mazda and she took about $80 worth of fuel. I'd say $200 (inclusive both ways) to be safe.
