Having The Best Time On An Australian Road Trip
Without a doubt, road trips in Australia allow you to take in some awe-inspiring sights without straying far from your car.

The Big Lap
As the name suggests, The Big Lap takes you to every major stop around the coast of Australia and a couple of jaunts inland to see the unmissable scenes. The key city stops are: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin, Port Hedland, Perth, Esperance, Adelaide, and Hobart. As this route navigates all the way around the country, this is one of the longest road trips in Australia and possibly the world, covering around 15,000 km of Highway One. A journey of this magnitude should not be rushed into: realistically, this involves a month's worth of driving and taking time to enjoy the sights. Season is a key-factor for this trip, as the wet season can mean roads are sometimes cut off and anything north of the Tropic of Capricorn has an added risk of disappointment, more so than other road trips in Australia.

The Great Ocean Road from Torquay to Allansford
Travelling along the Southern Coats of Australia, road trippers will see some of Australia's most awesome coastline, rain forests and cliff faces. This includes the Twelve Apostles, as they are known (despite only eight remaining). Be sure to map out a trip to Port Campbell National Park and take some obligatory snaps at the Gibson Steps.
-
Gibb River Road
This trip will take you through Kimberley, from Derby to Wyndham. The wilderness of the Kimberley will astonish you, and you'll get to see ancient Aboriginal sites and rock art and extraordinary natural wonders. Bell Gorge offers a tremendous waterfall, and you can take a dip in the picturesque pools!
-
Cairns to Cape York
This is a 1000 kilometre drive which is worth every metre. You will journey through the Wet Tropics of Queensland, a World Heritage site, which offers breathtaking beauty and a unique biodiversity. This road trip begins at the Barrier Reef, and ends at the mainland's most northerly point, so you are guaranteed to witness a wide range of extraordinary wildlife on your way.
