Australia is arguably the world’s greatest road trip destination with vast distances, almost no traffic outside of cities, and landscapes that transition from tropical rainforest to red desert to coastal cliffs within a single journey.
1. The Gibb River Road, Western Australia
Distance: 660km | Time: 7-14 days | Season: May to October only. The Gibb River Road through the Kimberley is the definitive Australian outback road trip. Corrugated dirt, river crossings, ancient gorges and absolute isolation.
2. The Great Ocean Road, Victoria
Distance: 243km | Time: 3-7 days | Season: Year-round. Australia’s most famous coastal drive is entirely sealed and caravan-friendly. The 12 Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge and Cape Otway Lighthouse are unmissable.
3. The Savannah Way
Distance: 3,700km | Time: 3-6 weeks | Season: May to October. Stretching from Cairns to Broome across northern Australia, the Savannah Way connects the tropical coasts through remote outback towns.
4. The Eyre Peninsula Loop, South Australia
Distance: 1,200km | Time: 7-10 days. One of Australia’s best-kept secrets for caravanners with spectacular coastal scenery at Coffin Bay and Port Lincoln.
