On my road trips, the destination is much less important
than the journey.

I was going to try to give a brief answer with details, but
I can't; too many places, too many details. And I've only
driven in the Eastern States, only by plane to the rest.

The reasons? To see places I haven't, to wander at my own
pace in the countryside, to come across unexpected views,
vistas, people.

Can you be a little more specific? A region, your interests?

My favourite is always the next one.


Cheers, Alan, Australia

I agree with Alan. So many places, so much to do!

Last big road trip - Brisbane thru' Roma, Charleville, Windorah, Birdsville,
Bouilia, Winton, Longreach, Barcaldine, Emerald, Rockhampton, Biloela,
Kingaroy to Brisbane. All in an AWD Mitsubishi Magna. Two weeks.

Next intended trip - 'Spirit of the Outback' train to Longreach (car on
Motorail with us) then thru' Barcaldine, Aramac, Muttuburra, Hughenden,
Normanton, Croydon, Georgetown, Undara, Herberton, Cairns, to Brisbane.
Two - three weeks.

Googla awat to see what's available at the places named. Too much to write.

Alan, please still answer as I'd like to hear your picks and why, if
possible . Doesn't at all matter if they're East Coast destinations.

1 Brisbane to Cairns - lots of stopping off places, towns off the highway,
the Whitsunday Islands, coastal towns gateways to many scenic islands, reef
etc.

2 Perth to Brisbane - to experience the remoteness and harshness of the
Australian desert - via Esperance, Nullabor Plain, Port Augusta, Broken
Hill, Moree, Goondiwindi

3 Brisbane to Warnambool - to experience beautiful coastal places in New
South Wales and the Great Ocean Road in Victoria.

4 Alice Springs to Kings Canyon and Ayers Rock - for the magnificence off
the land, fantastic country, true outback

The above has been my best road trips. my next planned trip is Brisbane to
darwin, Well i have flown it about 15 times, high time we experienced the
drive.

cheers

I drove from Sydney to Melbourne the long way a few years ago. I went via
Jervis Bay, then through the Snowy Mountains, down to Sorrento, got the
ferry across, Bell's Beach, Great Ocean Road, Grampians and then back into
Melbourne.

It was fun and the distances aren't huge.
