Australia travel guides

Australia rewards a route that respects its distances: connect Sydney and Melbourne by air, slow down along the Great Ocean Road, and give the Red Centre its own days. March to May and September to November suit many southern routes; the tropical north is generally driest from May to October. Compare campervan hire, campsite fees and fuel with a rental car and simple stays before committing to a road trip.
