How should we pace five weeks from Melbourne to Sydney on a modest budget?
Divide the five weeks into a few multi-night bases rather than changing towns daily. That gives room for weather and cheaper longer stays.
Is a campervan a good choice for a one-week trip from Melbourne?
Price the whole trip, including powered sites, fuel, insurance excess and any one-way charge. A campervan is not automatically the cheaper option once overnight places are included.
Can I drive the Great Ocean Road and return a rental car at Melbourne Airport?
Give the coast at least an overnight stay if you want time for stops rather than a long out-and-back drive. Keep the final night or departure morning close enough to the airport for a comfortable buffer.
How should I choose tours for the Penguin Parade and Great Ocean Road?
Pick tours by actual stops and time on site, not just the headline destination. A Great Ocean Road day is long; a smaller itinerary may be more enjoyable than one that promises every lookout.
Can I reuse a myki card from a Melbourne trip eighteen months ago?
Do not assume the balance is enough for an airport or regional journey. Check the current fare and payment rules for the exact route, then carry a backup way to obtain a new myki.
