Juvenile python greeting you at your doorstep? That would scare the bejeezus out of me, haha. Other than that, though, I loved your tips and found the map with the route you took to be really helpful. We visited Australia in 2007, but went with a large group so we didn’t rent a car. I’d love to return and explore Australia at a more leisurely pace, and a road trip would be a fantastic way to do it!

This is great insight. I would have definitely expected to rent a car everywhere in Australia. It’s good y helps.to know that you don’t have to. There’s so much to see!! This itinerary helps.

I have always wanted to go to the East coast of Australia and do a road trip! So lucky that you got to visit the Great Barrier Reef. I was just reading an article about how the reefs are 80% bleached there and it is at the risk of disappearing. So I need to go there fast!!!

We did almost exactly this trip for my high school graduation. We flew to Cairns and drove around. Then we took the bus to Sydney (long long ride). Then we flew over to Auckland and returned home. I still don’t think I saw a lot of the land down under but hitting these three uniquely different cities was a great way to start.

Great post. Australia has been on my list for a long time, but you are so right — it’s HUGE. Every time I look at the long flight and all the things I’d like to see, I know I’d have to stay at least three weeks. I like the idea of getting used to driving in New Zealand before taking it on in more populated places in Australia.

Australia is MASSIVE and that is one reason I have shied away from visiting it as an adult. I feel like I need months to really give it the time it deserves! These were some really good roadtrip tips, though. I have only rented a car during travel once, and even then it was my boyfriend who did all the driving as I can only drive manual. One reason I’d like to learn stick shift is to open more horizons during roadtrips!
