Travel guide
Get in
From Melbourne it's around 175 km – that is, two hours' drive, by using the M31 Hume Freeway and the M39 Goulburn Valley Freeway north.
You can also catch a train from Southern Cross Station, Melbourne which takes 2.5 hours
Sleep
The Hotel Carrington is an OK facility, but since there is a strong smell of chlorine in their water, it is better to buy your drinking water from outside, if you stay there. Same for the food.
