Australia is a vast country and some of the most spectacular places can only be reached after several hours of driving, which is why going on a road trip will truly allow you to see all the beauties it has to offer. A road trip is also the perfect solution for families, as you have the freedom of choosing a schedule that is suited for you and your children. Driving through Australia you will be able to see all of its natural beauties and the diverse, fascinating wildlife from the comfort of your own vehicle. If you take your time while driving through Australia, you will be able to see and experience more than you could ever imagine. So, here are some tips to help you plan a proper family Australian road trip:
Don’t underestimate the size of Australia
As the sixth-largest country in the world, Australia is so big that, apart from being a country, it also counts as a continental landmass. It is very important to realize this fact before you start planning your itinerary. While it is technically possible to drive from Cairns to Melbourne in two weeks, such a tight schedule will leave you no time to actually visit and explore places along the way. It would be a much better idea to devote a month or two for such a long trip. If limited to a short period of time, however, a better alternative would be to choose a shorter route, in order to experience the beauty of Australia properly.
