Driving directions from Melbourne
Swifts Creek is about 375 km or a 4 hour drive from central Melbourne.
Take the Monash Freeway eastbound. Keep left onto the Princes Fwy towards Warragul, and remain on the Princes Fwy & Hwy through Traralgon, Sale, and Bairnsdale. Leaving Bairnsdale keep left at the roundabout onto the Great Alpine Rd towards Bruthen. In Bruthen turn left to remain on the Great Alpine Rd towards Swifts Creek and Omeo. Swifts Creek is about 70 km or a 50 minute drive from Bruthen.

An alternative and spectacular route is to take the Hume Freeway from Melbourne, turn off onto the Great Alpine Rd, and travel via Bright, Mt Hotham, and Omeo to Swifts Creek. This trip is about 100 km or an hour longer, but it is an unforgettable drive. Why not make a your trip a circuit, travelling up through Gippsland and home over the mountains?
