distance echuca to melbourne Page 6

It’s roughly 225 km by road from Echuca to Melbourne, so figure on 2.5–3 hours behind the wheel if the trucks behave. The usual quickest run is down the Northern Highway (B75) toward the metro freeways, with an alternative via Bendigo and the Calder that’s a touch longer. Add time if you’re hitting peak-hour or stopping for a cheeky vanilla slice. Prefer trains to tailgaters? V/Line does the trip to Southern Cross in roughly 3 hours, give or take a timetable shuffle.
