Take the long way home

Drive the scenic touring roads of North East Victoria
and the Southern Riverina at your own pace

NORTH East Victoria and the Southern Riverina region of New South Wales is Australia's premier inland playground, where every road allows you to take the long way home

​Thousands of kilometres of highways, byways, and less-explored back roads, criss-cross the region from the High Country, to the Murray River and further north to the Murrumbidgee River, and over the past 57 years thecountrydriver has driven - well, almost - all of them.

​We didn't ponder on our top four roads as they are the best, and there are so many other interesting roads through awe-inspiring scenery to choose from. We hope you enjoy driving them as much as we do. 

 

So, what are you waiting for? Fill your tank/charge your battery and come exploring the region's great touring roads, villages, towns and historic sites with us.
