Introduction
Australia is known for its wild landscapes, and it’s no secret that the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru (Ayers Rock), and Sydney Harbour are three of the most popular destinations in the country. But if you’re looking for an adventure with a twist—or just want to avoid crowds—then consider taking one of these road trips instead.
Great Ocean Road
The Great Ocean Road is a 243km stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Victoria, Australia. It was built between 1919 and 1932 by returning soldiers as part of a memorial to those who had died in World War I. Today, it’s one of Australia’s most famous tourist attractions and home to some very beautiful beaches!
Sunshine Coast to Brisbane
You’re going to want to start your road trip on the Sunshine Coast. This popular destination for retirees is known for its beautiful beaches and outdoor activities, but it also has a lot of history in the form of museums and historical sites. If you’re interested in exploring these sites, then make sure to plan your trip around one of their many festivals or events that are held throughout the year.
If you want something more adventurous than just hanging out at the beach all day long (although this can certainly be done), then consider taking a day trip down south to Noosa National Park where there are plenty of trails through dense rainforests that lead right up onto gorgeous white sand beaches overlooking emerald waters!
From Sydney to Melbourne
The drive from Sydney to Melbourne is one of the most popular road trips in Australia. It’s also one of the shortest and most accessible, as it only takes about 5 hours to get from one city to another. The driving distance between these two cities is 480 km (300 miles), which means you can easily take this trip in a day if you’re pressed for time or want something more leisurely.
The Hume Highway is an ideal route for travelers who want to see some beautiful scenery on their journey: Thredbo Ski Resort makes for an excellent stop along the way, as does Katoomba Scenic World and Jenolan Caves National Park. If you take enough time at each destination along your route, this trip could easily become a multi-day excursion with plenty of stops along the way!
From Canberra to Uluru and the Outback
The drive is around 3000km and takes around 10 days, passing through Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Alice Springs before reaching Uluru.
The trip also passes through the Snowy Mountains and the Outback – two regions of Australia that are completely different from one another. The Great Dividing Range runs along this route too which means you can enjoy some breathtaking views along with your journey!
Australia is a beautiful place to visit, especially if you are an adventure-seeker.
The country has many natural wonders and unique landscapes that can only be found there. If you’re looking for some serious road trip action, Australia has plenty of options for you.
Australia is also known as the “lucky country” because they have so many things going on all year round: festivals, sporting events and more! You’ll never run out of things to do while visiting Australia so come prepared with your camera ready at all times because there will be no shortage of photo opportunities during your trip!
Conclusion
If you’re looking for a unique way to experience Australia, then these road trips are the perfect choice. Each one offers something different and exciting, so no matter what type of adventure appeals most to you (beach or mountains), there’s bound to be something on this list that will get your heart pumping!
