Hume Corridor

Hume Corridor
As the major route between Australia’s two largest cities, the Hume Highway provides fast travel without too much in the way of scenery. Upgrades are slowly making the road into a divided freeway for the entire route, but at present some stretches are still two-lane and heavily trafficked. It takes nine to ten hours to cover the 872km between Sydney and Melbourne along the highway, but taking scenic detours along stretches of the Old Hume Hwy where it parts from the new can help spruce up the monotony with some beautiful historic villages tucked away in the countryside.
