Depends if you are towing, and what your rig is like, what your preferences are re driving etc.

In my book, I prefer the inland route.

I guess it doesn't really matter... going that fast you won't see much.

less trucks on the inland route.

Go inland and have an overnight at Bendemeer free camp, also excellent meals at the pub which is only a short walk.

We travel from the Nowra area to Brisbane once or twice a year, always prefer the New England highway. The last time we tried the Pacific we found lots of roadworks and very heavy traffic.

I prefer the New England when travelling to Brisbane but it does have more hills, but less traffic, it is a slower road, about 50% of the Pacific is now freeway.
