Hi
I will soon need to travel to
Canberra from Gippsland in Victoria and will be towing a 5mtr boat. On the map the Monaro highway from Cann river looks to be the shortest option, can anyone inform what this highway is like and would it be Ok to tow on. I want to be able to try and maintain a reasonable average speed.
Thanks

It is the better of the two roads up from the coast. Black top all the way with a steady climb once you cross the Vic border and a bit windy 20k out of Cann River, but only for 15k or so.
The Princes Hwy is a bit windy and slow from Orbost to Cann River.
Just take it easy and drive to the conditions, it takes me 7 hrs from Mirboo Nth to
Canberra, take the
Buchan T/O out of Bairnsdale to by-pass Lake Entrance, its at the big round-a-bout on the edge of town.
