Question 1

Can I do the Great Ocean Road on a Melbourne to Adelaide relocation?

Accepted Answer

Yes! A Melbourne to Adelaide $1/day relocation or vice versa is one of the best ways to experience the Great Ocean Road on a budget. You can visit places like Twelve Apostles, Apollo Bay, Torquay & Lorne along the way.

Question 2

How long does it take to drive from Melbourne to Adelaide?

Accepted Answer

Inland, it takes around 7 hours. If you choose to do the coastal route via the Great Ocean Road it can be around 14 hours, best split into multiple days.

Question 3

How far is it from Melbourne to Adelaide by car?

Accepted Answer

Melbourne and Adelaide are approximately 725 kilometres apart via the direct inland route, which usually takes around 8 hours of driving without extended stops. If you travel along the Great Ocean Road, the journey is longer, but you can enjoy coastal towns, beaches and famous landmarks along the way.

Question 4

What are the best places to stop between Melbourne and Adelaide?

Accepted Answer

Popular stops depend on which route you take. Along the coastal route, consider:
- Torquay: The gateway to the Great Ocean Road and a famous surf town.
- Lorne: A seaside town with beaches, cafés and nearby waterfalls.
- Apollo Bay: A relaxed coastal stop surrounded by natural scenery.
- The Twelve Apostles: One of Australia's most recognisable coastal landmarks.
- Warrnambool: A coastal city and a useful stop before crossing into South Australia.
- Mount Gambier: Known for its volcanic landscape and Blue Lake.

Question 5

Can I see the Twelve Apostles on a Melbourne to Adelaide road trip?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The Twelve Apostles are located along Victoria's Great Ocean Road, making them a popular stop on a Melbourne to Adelaide coastal road trip. They're best visited with enough time to enjoy the viewing platforms and surrounding coastline before continuing west.

Question 6

Is it better to drive from Melbourne to Adelaide along the coast or inland?

Accepted Answer

The coastal route is ideal if you want ocean views, beaches, seaside towns and attractions such as the Twelve Apostles. The inland route is generally more direct and better suited to travellers who want to reach Adelaide sooner. If you have a few extra days, the coastal route offers more opportunities to explore along the way.

Question 7

Can I do a Melbourne to Adelaide road trip on a budget?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can keep costs down by planning your stops in advance, choosing affordable campsites or accommodation, preparing some of your own meals and comparing transport options. A vehicle relocation through Imoova is a budget-friendly option, with car, campervan or motorhome relocations from $1 per day.

Available vehicles vary by listing and may include cars, campervans, motorhomes or other vehicle types. Check the individual listing for the vehicle category, passenger capacity, facilities, permitted kilometres and any other conditions before booking.

Question 10

How many days do I need for a Melbourne to Adelaide road trip?

Accepted Answer

You can drive the direct route in a day, but a longer trip gives you more time to explore. Allow around 3–5 days for a coastal road trip with key Great Ocean Road stops, or longer if you want to explore more of regional Victoria and South Australia. For an Imoova relocation, your itinerary must fit within the specific booking's permitted timeframe.

Question 11

Can I stop along the way during an Imoova relocation?

You can generally plan stops along your route, provided you follow the relocation's terms and reach the destination within the permitted timeframe. Check any restrictions on permitted routes, kilometres and vehicle use, and allow enough time for driving, sightseeing and overnight stops.
