Where To Go

Iconic Road Trips Around Australia

The Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road is a stunning drive in Australia, offering breathtaking views of the rugged coastline. Enjoy the scenic landscapes along this famous route, then venture inland to see lush forests and serene waterfalls. The iconic 12 Apostles, impressive limestone rock formations are a must-see, especially at sunset when they glow in brilliant shades of red.

The Great Barrier Reef Route

Not all great drives are long drives, even in a place as big as Australia. From the tropical city of Cairns to the wilds of Cape Tribulation, the Great Barrier Reef Drive offers more than its fair share of wonders. Where else can you stand on the border of two World Heritage Listed sites? Or spot the vibrant colours of both cassowary birds and coral? Amid your travels between the reef and the Daintree Rainforest, you can chill beneath palms, search for tree kangaroos and snorkel over the kaleidoscope of colours and creatures on the reef.

The Gran Pacific Drive

The Grand Pacific Drive is one of Australia’s most stunning coastal journeys, starting just south of Sydney. The route hugs the coastline and features the Sea Cliff Bridge, which seems to float above the waves. Highlights include the blowhole in Kiama and the powdery sands of Hyams Beach. Continue the adventure by traveling to Melbourne on the Sydney to Melbourne Coastal Drive.

The Red Centre Way

The central Australian outback is a region of change, featuring ochre landscapes, vibrant cultures, and starry skies. The Red Centre Way, starting and ending in Alice Springs, offers encounters with iconic landmarks like Uluru, Kata Tjuta, and Watarrka National Park, as well as the stunning gorges and swimming holes of Tjoritja (the West MacDonnell Ranges).

The Explorers Route

The Explorers Way runs from Adelaide to Darwin, featuring ancient gorges, weathered peaks, and red rock canyons. In South Australia, explore the 600-million-year-old Flinders Ranges and the underground city of Coober Pedy. Crossing into the Northern Territory, you'll see the stunning Uluru and Kata Tjuta as the landscape turns red beneath your tires.

The legendary Pacific Coast

Experience the breathtaking Legendary Pacific Coast between Sydney and Brisbane, including the Hunter Valley wineries, Port Stephens' pristine beaches, the vibrant vibe of Byron Bay, and the glitz of the Gold Coast. This scenic drive invites you to enjoy Australia’s coastal charm, with a fun stop at the iconic Big Banana.

The Great Eastern Drive

Tasmania is rich in natural beauty, from snow-capped mountains to sapphire-blue bays. Experience the island's coastal wonders on the Great Eastern Drive, starting in Hobart and heading north to the Bay of Fires with its pristine beaches. Explore the sandstone ruins of the Port Arthur convict settlement and marvel at the stunning Wineglass Bay.

The Nullarbor Plain

If you want to experience Australia’s vast open spaces, consider the Nullarbor Plain along the Great Australian Bight. This region offers unique adventures, from exploring the Eyre Peninsula’s wild coast to playing on the world’s longest golf course. You can also visit historic gold mining towns, discover caves, and see the remains of a crashed space station. The Nullarbor Plain is a must-visit for an unforgettable Aussie road trip.

The Gibb River Road

The Kimberley's heart is as stunning as its coastline. The iconic Gibb River Road, from Derby to Kununurra, offers an unforgettable outback journey, featuring remote gorges, dramatic ridges, and a sense of freedom. Embark on a 4WD adventure to see unique boab trees, the rugged Cockburn Range, and tranquil waterholes.

The Southwest Edge

The journey from Perth to Esperance features stunning white beaches, crystal-clear waters, towering trees, and excellent wineries. Experience the beauty and tranquility of the Southwest Edge road trip. Visit beach-loving kangaroos at Lucky Bay, walk the treetop suspension bridge at the Valley of the Giants, and look for killer whales between late January and April. This is just the beginning of your adventure!
