Haze, I live in Melbourne. So there is no such need for backpacker tour. Can't be much help lor :embrass:
Well, if you are driving, take turn to drive.....or stop by the roadside rest areas to sleep for an hour or two...it is a great feeling.
It is hard to give advise on how to holiday in Melbourne. Coz we all have different likes and dislikes.........
If you are comfortable about driving, then get a car....even for a day. Who knows, you might just like it..........and rent a few more days
Thought your frens got car, They can drive you to countryside lor..when they are not working.
