Driving in Australia

1 min read admin_paris

Australia drives on the left, and regional roads can be narrower and more winding than they look on a map. Build extra time between towns, especially in Tasmania.

Watch for wildlife at dawn and dusk, keep fuel topped up in remote stretches, and never leave valuables visible in parked cars at trailheads.
