The coastal route about 1 1/2 hours drive from Melbourne is known as the Great Ocean Road. It is one of the most scenic routes in Australia and passes by small towns, stunning scenery and great beaches. The road, however, has many twists and turns as it follows the coastline.

To drive from Melbourne to Adelaide along the coastal route, it's about a 60 mile drive from Melbourne to reach the start of the Great Ocean Road. This road is heavily trafficked highway for the most part.

The Great Ocean Road is 160 miles and will take at least 6 hours to travel, without stops (but if you're driving on this scenic route, you'll want to stop especially around Port Campbell).

From the Great Ocean Road to Adelaide is another 350 miles, depending on the inland route you take, and will take over 7 hours to drive.

In total, to get from Melbourne to Adelaide along the coastal route is about 800 miles that will take about 15 hours of driving time without stops.
