East coast by car in 2 weeks ?
Hi,
The car's definitely my favorite means of transport. It's expensive, but gives you the most freedom, by far. Does anybody know whether it's any reasonable, given the distances, to consider traveling all the way from Sydney to Cairns, along the coast, by car in 2 weeks time ? (Cairns - Sydney by plane) (ie. will I basically just spend all my holidays driving..? Or maybe the landscapes are worth it, eventhough yes I'm going to spend quite a long time on the road..?) Thank you very much in advance. |

The classic drive is from Perth to Brisabne via the Nullabor.
Cairns to Sydney this time of year will be a real sweat box. But if you do it, stop at all the wineries and breweries along the way. Dick |

Thank you very much in advance. Sure. Its only a few thousand kms, so you can do it in a few days. Be warned, and with respect to any QLDers reading, by car there's not a lot to see north of Maryborough until you get to Cairns.. The towns along the route - Bundaberg, Gladstone, Mackay/Airlie Beach, Townsville, etc are great places to explore offshore islands, but what you see on the mainland is mostly marginal swampland/scrub, mangroves, sugar cane and industry - aluminium smelters, port cities, and shops for farmers. Unless you visit the islands, the almost 2,000 kms of driving doesn't give you much in terms of scenery. Sydney to about 3 hours north of Brisbane by the coast road is however a great drive, with lots to see and do. |

Yeah it's feasible but I don't know why you'd want to do it. By the time you drive that far you won't see that much on the way. I'd want to go to the islands or spend a day on the beach. -- davidcronk Message origin: www.TRAVEL.com |

Dick ----- This sounds real fun ... and i agree car will be a lot of fun .. just take along 2-3 friends who can drive !! So tat the driving does not become too much. |
Car journey is very excitement. When I travel in car then I doing alot of fun. The most important thing is that you can stop anywhere on the road where you like.
