Travelling North On The Hume
Departure timing matters. Leaving Melbourne early avoids congestion on the West Gate Freeway and Tullamarine Freeway. The Hume is generally smooth, but roadworks near Euroa or Benalla can cause delays; we monitor these updates and adjust routes if needed. Rest stops at Seymour, Wangaratta and Holbrook provide facilities for refuelling and resting. Speed limits vary near towns and work zones, so adhering to signs ensures safety and compliance.
Crossing into New South Wales at Albury, we continue along the Hume Highway. Fog can settle in low‑lying areas during winter mornings, and summer heat can be intense in the Riverina. We plan travel around extreme weather and adjust driving speeds accordingly. Closer to Sydney, traffic increases, particularly near Campbelltown and Liverpool. We may use the Hume Motorway, M5 or M7 to access different suburbs, depending on your destination. Toll charges are itemised in your quote.
Sydney’s inner suburbs present navigation challenges. Narrow streets, limited parking and strict loading zone regulations require permits and coordination with local councils. Many apartment buildings require lift bookings and have specific moving hours. We liaise with building management to secure these amenities and ensure compliance. Tree overhangs and low bridges may restrict access for large trucks; our pre‑move survey identifies these issues, allowing us to dispatch appropriate vehicles or plan shuttle services. Being prepared keeps unloading efficient and reduces the risk of property damage.
