About picking up in Melbourne
Melbourne is the launchpad for two iconic trips: the Great Ocean Road, and the Spirit of Tasmania ferry to Hobart. All major operators allow ferry crossings (extra fee). Cool-climate city, great food scene to start a road trip.
Melbourne is the launchpad for two of the best drives in the country. The Great Ocean Road west to the Twelve Apostles is the obvious one, done as a long weekend or stretched to Adelaide over a week. The other is the Spirit of Tasmania, which carries vans across to Devonport, and most operators allow the crossing for an added fee.
It is a cooler start than the eastern cities, so the season runs the other way. Summer, December to February, is peak and best for the southern coast and Tasmania; winter is cheap but cold for van life down here.
Driving to Sydney up the coast is the underrated option: Wilsons Prom, the Sapphire Coast and quiet free camps most people skip in the rush between the two cities.
