The Legendary Pacific Coast

In NSW this stretch of highway has been a very popular driving holiday for so many of the years. The M1, as it is best known, offers a very direct link between two of Australia’s major cities. The Sydney to Brisbane road trip Idea is not new but it has just become so much more than just a drive.

The Legendary Pacific Coast starts just half an hour out of Sydney at the Central Coast of NSW. This then goes all the way through to the Gold Coast in QLD. With over 20 towns and locations to explore and experience you can make your road trip a holiday of it’s own.

Planning your Sydney to Brisbane road trip or the other way around is so much fun. With so many trails to explore and so many itinerary options to create.
