Planning your Aussie road trip
With so much to see in Australia, figuring out your road trip route can be a bit of a mission. But here’s the thing – you’ve got options. Whether you’re after coastal vibes, desert landscapes, or something in between, there’s a route that’ll suit your trip perfectly.
1. Great Ocean Road (Victoria)
The Great Ocean Road is one of those iconic drives that every traveller should tick off their list. It’s 240km of jaw-dropping coastal views, winding roads, and plenty of chances to pull over and take it all in. Along the way, you’ve got the 12 Apostles, koalas hanging out in the trees, and small beach towns that make for the perfect pit stop.
2. Sydney to Brisbane (Pacific Coast)
Looking for beaches, rainforests, and laid-back coastal towns? The drive from Sydney to Brisbane has you covered. This 900km stretch along the Pacific Coast is all about relaxed beach vibes, with plenty of stops along the way, like Byron Bay (a must for surfers) and Port Macquarie.
3. Red Centre (Northern Territory)
If you’re more into the outback vibe, the Red Centre is where it’s at. Think red dirt roads, wide open spaces, and Australia’s most iconic landmarks like Uluru and Kings Canyon. The road from Adelaide to Alice Springs is an adventure in itself, with plenty of cultural and natural stops along the way. It’s one of those trips where you really feel like you’re in the heart of Australia.
4. Broome to Darwin (Western Australia)
For those after a true outback adventure, the Broome to Darwin road trip is a stunner. You’ll be driving through some of Australia’s most remote and untouched landscapes, with stops like El Questro Gorge and the Bungle Bungles along the way. It’s a long haul, but the reward is epic gorges, waterfalls, and desert landscapes. If you’re into Aboriginal culture, this trip offers plenty of chances to learn about the region’s deep history.
