Driving North East Victoria and the Southern Riverina - Darryl and Julie 

HUNDREDS of kilometres of interesting roads crisscross North East Victoria and the Southern Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia's premier inland playground. The area has the essential ingredients for the perfect road trip - stunning, ever-changing scenery, incredible attractions, welcoming cities, towns, and villages, friendly people, and great, uncrowded, touring roads

 

So, what are you waiting for. Fill your tank and start exploring the roads we've been driving and have come to know and love for the past 55 years.

Mind if we make a few regional 'Sunday drive' suggestions? Didn't think so!

OVER the past 55 years thecountrydriver has ticked off just about every A, B and C highway and secondary road in North-East Victoria and the Southern Riverina, plus goodness knows how many other tourist routes, minor roads, and bush tracks throughout the region.
