With festival season in full swing, there\u2019s something just as exciting about getting to the festival as the festival itself.<\/h5>\n

Being only a three-hour road trip from Sydney<\/a>, Spilt Milk in Canberra<\/a> is the ultimate weekend getaway for Sydneysiders.<\/p>\n

We love a festival here in Australia<\/a>, and Spilt Milk is one of the absolute best, attracting music lovers from all across the nation.<\/p>\n

1. Bowral<\/h2>\n

Bowral<\/a> makes the perfect first place to break your journey to Spilt Milk. Just 90 minutes out of Sydney, Bowral is known for its hospitality, and there are a number of top cafes<\/a> and restaurants in town<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For lovers of cricket, a trip to the Bradman Museum and International Cricket Hall of Fame is an absolute must. One of the best things to do in Bowral<\/a>, it showcases the life of Don Bradman, one of cricket’s greatest batsmen, who called Bowral his hometown.<\/p>\n

2. Berrima<\/h2>\n

Right around the corner, you\u2019ll find Berrima<\/a>, Australia\u2019s best-preserved village from the 1830s, known for everything from its bushrangers to its book barn, its killer pies,\u00a0wineries<\/a>\u00a0and Georgian courthouse.<\/p>\n

The Southern Highlands town<\/a> was built around a village green and is also home to Australia\u2019s oldest surviving gaol.<\/p>\n

The Southern Highlands hub of Moss Vale<\/a> has a charming country town feel layered with a collection of seriously stylish stores, cafes and eateries that makes for an alluring stop on your way to Canberra.<\/p>\n

4. Goulburn<\/h2>\n

Goulburn<\/a> is only two hours\u2019 drive from\u00a0Sydney\u00a0and one from\u00a0Canberra. This inland city is actually Australia\u2019s first, and is surrounded by bushland, farms and wetlands. To explore it all in detail, find the perfect\u00a0two-day itinerary here.<\/a><\/p>\n

On your way out, head to the tiny hamlet of\u00a0Collector\u00a0just off the Federal Highway towards Canberra. The Bushranger Hotel, best known for the infamous shooting of Constable Nelson by outlaw Ben Hall and his gang in 1865, is in the centre of town.<\/p>\n

5. Yass<\/h2>\n

Three hours southwest of Sydney, through the stunning scenery of the Southern Tablelands, is the picturesque town of Yass. You may recognise this place from its starring role in a wholesome episode of Netflix\u2019s Queer Eye<\/a>, but there is more to Yass than just its fabulous name.<\/p>\n

Grand Victorian and Federation buildings flank its wide main street, complete with quaint boutiques, former bank buildings, an elegant courthouse, quality cafes and restaurants that serve local produce in droves.<\/p>\n

The famous Banjo Patterson Park commemorates the bush poet. He famously spent some of his early years in the Yass Valley and later bought a property here so his children could experience a similar country childhood to his. Take a walk around and you\u2019ll soon see why.<\/p>\n

The coastal route<\/h2>\n

If you would prefer to take in a bit of the southern coastline on your road trip from Sydney to Canberra, you should consider driving down the A1 that will lead you all the way down from Sydney to Batemans Bay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"The

The route is quite a bit longer but it takes you down the South Coast<\/a> past some of the most incredible NSW beach towns<\/a> including Wollongong<\/a>, Shellharbour and Jervis Bay<\/a>.<\/p>\n
