It’s Snow Joke! Five detour-worthy road trip stops to take on your trip to the snow this winter

After a slow start, the Australian ski season is now in full, powdery effect, so there’s no better time to grab your gear and hit the slopes!
To help ski, snowboard and après enthusiasts alike take advantage of the year’s best snowfall, Budget Australia has compiled its top five road trip detours to make the drive worthwhile.

Please see below for Budget Australia’s detour-worthy snow road trip destinations.

To help Aussies get to more of the good stuff, Budget Australia is currently running $100 off rentals of 7 or more days.

Budget Australia’s detour-worthy snow road trip routes:

1) NSW - Sydney to Jindabyne via Canberra

More than the nation's capital, Canberra is home to a blossoming food and beverage scene worth exploring. And for those looking for field trip nostalgia, pop back into the museums for some culture. 

2) Sydney to Jindabyne via Bowral

Historic Bowral is a picturesque town in the heart of the Southern Highland perfect for a scone or two on the way to the slopes! Excellent pubs and cafes soundtracked by a historic train line, while cricket fanatics will be sure to enjoy a visit to the Don Bradman Museum

3) VIC - Melbourne to Falls Creek/Mount Buller via Benalla

Benalla is known as Australia’s street art capital, and the perfect cultural detour if you're on your way to Mount Hotham or Falls Creek. Pop into the Benalla Art Gallery for their latest exhibition, or check out the Benalla Ceramic Mural.

4) Melbourne to Falls Creek/Mount Buller via King Valley and Milawa

For a gourmet stop-off, pop into King Valley and Milawa to stock up on all your après-ski cheese board needs, and delight in the Italian varietals on offer in the King Valley wine region. 

5) Melbourne to Falls Creek/Mount Buller via Bright

At the base of Mount Buffalo National Park, Bright is the gateway to the High Country. Idyllic canyon walks, boutique shopping and an excellent brewery make Bright the perfect stopover location.
