    Take the M1, the whole way. I used to do this trip every year, sometimes a few times a year.

    Don't speed, even if you're in a queue of cars speeding. If you have P plates, you'll be the first person to get nabbed.

    It's about a 7 hour drive.

    Going just before the Nats, I'm trying to stay at my friends house an extra couple of days for the Nats... probably just staying for 4-5 days, seeing and catching up with my mates up there

    Via Albury is probably the fastest but via Perth would be far more scenic.
