Best route for Mildura to Gold Coast via Outback

If you are going to the Gold Coast (ie Bigger Waters), you would want to get further north than Coonamble.

Here are your options:

Mildura to Dubbo (8 hours)

Dubbo to Lightning Ridge via Coonamble (4 hours)

Lightning Ridge to Gold Coast (8 hours)

Or

Mildura to Dubbo (8 hours)

Dubbo to Moree via Coonabarabran (4 hours)

Moree to Gold Coast (6 hours)

I would stay at Moree’s Gwydir Caravan Park & Thermal Pools – take your swimmers and relax in the artesian baths after the long drive. They have a Deluxe Cabin with 1 double, and 2 single bunk beds for $79 – you would need to take your own linen. If you would like to book, please phone 02 6752 2723. If you want linen supplied, then you will need to book into one of the Moree Motels.

Which is the best way to go from Mildura to Gold Coast

Morning Laura,

I have picked Coonamble of the map, it is not a requirement that I stay there.

I am travelling from Mildura, Victoria. to Biggera Waters, Qld.

Require a overnight stay, would prefer to drive a big day on the first day so as to leave a shorter drive the second.

Dubbo is about half way so I would like stay north of Dubbo, however with approximately 13 hours (drive time) to Moree this would be my furtherest point.

Do you have any other suggestions for me???
