Discover Five Of Australia’s Wackiest Road Trips

Australia has much more to offer you than its metropolitan cities, LGBT clubs, sparkling seashores and carefully pruned natural preserves. Don’t stick to Sydney, Canberra, Perth and Melbourne. Instead, get hold of a budget car hire (or an Aussie muscle car) and get out on the road. As you drive past the rural locales, crocodile infested rivers, quaint towns and fishing communities, and miles of meadows with sheep and flowers, you know Australia is much more than what is usually advertised. Be a roadie and begin your exploration of the picturesque country with these five wacky road trips:

#1: Sunshine Coast Road Trip

This trip takes 4 days to conclude and is a wonderful way to explore the laidback city of Brisbane and other places in the vicinity. On the way, you also get to marvel at the Sunshine Coast and gawk at the colorful markets that dot Eumundi. Noosa is a quintessential beach town with snazzy restaurants, clubs, and performing art galleries. The roads are clear, and the drives are perfect.

#2: Tasmania Food and Nature Trail

This trip takes 5 days to conclude. Beginning with Launceston, you head to Tamar Valley, Bicheno, the East Coast, Richmond and Hobart, where you shop at the Salamanca Markets. Yummy ice cream, fresh cheesecake factories, chocolate factories, and fine dining amenities on the way ensure you never stay hungry on the road. The enchanting scenery of the East and the North Coast are a feast for the senses. With easy driveways and striking views, the Tasmania food and nature trail is an adventure you ought to embark on.

#3: Great Ocean Road

The 6 day trip along the Great Ocean Road stretches from Melbourne to Adelaide, and is a visual delight. The Victoria Coast, the Naracoorte Caves, the Coonawarra wine yards and the charming towns of Apollo Bay, Warrnambool, and Keith are fabulous sightseeing vistas you can enjoy. And oh – don’t forget to savor a few meals at Adelaide’s famous “eat street”, with more than 100 shacks juxtaposed for you to choose from.

#4: Nature’s Way

The 5-day road trip from Darwin to Kakadu to Katherine to Litchfield and back to Darwin is a great way to spend your Australian vacation. The Aboriginal culture, the crocodiles, the pristine ecology and wetlands are great features on the way. Add to that, a cosmopolitan city (Darwin) and you are sure to have a great holiday on the wheels.

#5: Grand Pacific Drive

We always tend to save the best for the last. The Grand Pacific Drive, which extends for over 5 days, connects Sydney to Melbourne and touches Canberra on the way. When you have three metropolises to explore, a whole assortment of sandy beaches with surfing avenues, wildlife that is unique to Australia, and culinary delights that make you drool, you can hardly complain about being “on the move” always, can you?
