Best Answer

1,681 km - about 22 hours 14 mins per Google Maps

This can be done in around 18 hours depending on speed and the number of breaks.

18 hours would be no breaks and breaking the speed limit. 22 is about right for two drivers. Longer if it's one driver taking the recommended breaks. The RACQ Trip planner recommends a minimum of 22 hours. This does not include breaks. Even with two drivers, it would take longer, simply because although one is not driving all the time, it is still necessary to physically get out of the car and take regular breaks. It can be easily travelled in three days, allowing for proper stops along the way.

It should be remembered that Google Maps are less accurate on travelling times and distances than some Australian-based travel planner sites, such as the RACQ.
