Five Regional Towns to Stop in When Road Tripping from Melbourne to Sydney – Concrete Playground

That wide-open highway between Melbourne and Sydney has so much to offer. So, why settle for the routine route when you can have a rural adventure? In partnership with Canadian Club and Empty Esky, we want folks to make the great Aussie road trip even better.
