Yes... this person is even cheaper than our local tour agent who is doing for people at RM30 per passport.

It's upto you to DIY at A$20 or  use an agent at RM30 per passport

RM20 also can get.

i rented at car from Jucy car rental. It was fast process and the car is in good condition.

1) sydney - central tilba

use route lawrence hargrave dr instead of princess motorway. You will enjoy more scenaries and will drive through Sea Cliff Bridge. you can stop at CATHEDRAL ROCKS, BOMBO HEADLAND QUARRY, KIAMA BLOWHOLE

It was a mistake the stay was too far staying which is at central tilba.. as i didnt know there are many places that I wanted to stop! so probably you can over night at ULLADULLA.
2) Central Tilba - lake entrance

using tathra bermagui rd route. passing by bermagui, Cuttagee, Mogareeka, Merimbula, Eden

walk around tilba town. drive tru wallaga bridge lake, the blue pool (no time to go)

same here journey too far. probably you can stay at Eden
3) Lake entrance - Traralgon

not much to see in between the journey because i wanted to go Walhalla and catch a train at Thompson to up to Walhalla. Drive down stay a night a Traralgon.

Many might choose all the coastal drive like going to Wilsons Promontory National Park but half way i prefer some mix with inland route so i choose traralgon.
4)traralgon - Melbourne

I went to REDWOOD FOREST, YARRA VALLEY CHOCOLATERIE & ICE CREAMERY (I didnt go)
Metung,Mallacoota, Narooma, Jervis Bay. These are some nice place to overnight..

I think my explanation is very brief because Im sleepy now.. hehe.. if you have time you can spend more days..

you can google the destinations and drag your preferred route and you will know how long is your journey. if you have any queries, I will try to explain in my minimal knowledge. smile.gif

thx!

No. There's no additional charge. We even rent from Melbourne and drop at Adelaide. Everything was hassle free.. and Jucy is the cheapest in town! I have read some bad reviews in the web.. But we didnt.. and still go for it!

p/s jucy car rental office are away from CBD. So you might need to take public transport. In Melbourne, you need Myki to take tram back to CBD.

thx!
i hv dropped the idea of interstate driving coz of time limit & opt for flight. shall take car rental at both cities. i notice jucy is very cheap but the cheap price has its limitations. anyway, shall be comparing a few rental cos.

oh you gonna missed out alot of things if opt for flight! Maybe you can take bus and you can see good sceneries thou.. Hmm what limitation for renting from Jucy? if you just wander in the cities i don't think its necessary to rent a car.. but its your choise.. smile.gif

i know but no time to drive that long.
limitation for ex after working hrs is extra charge, & sydney only hv airport pickup i think & need to take shuttle bus. not suitable for me & family. anyway, im still considering all options. still got plenty time to decide.

yea I have explained earlier. Public transport bus + train

Taking public transport is the cheapest. If you are on budget, walk out from the airport go straight to car park area and take bus route 400 to ROCKDALE STATION. You can opt to drop at Bondi Junction but the journey takes slightly longer time. [Ask driver which direction he is driving]
p/s : you need to have opal card. I think total cost less than $7.00
*
no i just want to go to city center from airport. maybe u're answering to different person before this. anyway i just googled & i need to take 2 trains to my hotel.
opal card can be purchased at the airport ya? open til night?
