Ok ... here's one,
I've done this a couple of times, headed to Bight in the Southern Alpine region, winter was great with log fires and red wine etc. It's the usual boring drive from ACT to Albury along the freeway but take the first turn off and it's a great drive. At Albury take the first Wodonga and Yakandandah turn off to the left, amazing country roads through some spectacular scenary into Myrtleford and then into Bright.
Bright is a great little village at the foot of the Vic Alipne region (from here head up to Mt Hotham) and there are plenty of drives up and over mountains (depends on time of year) some very nice day tips. I stayed at the Merrimeet Cottages at Bright, nice place.

This is an ideal 3 day trip, drive down (5 hours) ... stay 2 nights and drive back on the third day.
