Australia is a magical island, country, and continent defined by vibrant cities, quaint towns, and some of the most incredible landscapes you could ever hope to see.
It is an extensive journey covering thousands of kilometers, taking travellers on a loop around the country’s perimeter.
Route Planning: Decide the direction you want to take and the major cities or landmarks you want to visit. Consider both the coastal route and inland options.
Must-Visit Destinations: Research and include iconic destinations such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin, Perth, Adelaide, and Hobart.
The total distance of the Big Lap can be around 15,000 to 20,000 kilometres or more. The longer the distance, the more time you’ll need to allow for the journey.
Many travellers opt for 4WDs or SUVs equipped with off-road capabilities, as these vehicles can handle rough and unsealed roads commonly found in The Outback and remote areas.
Plan and Budget in Advance: Create a detailed budget for your trip, considering expenses for fuel, accommodation, food, activities, and any unexpected costs.
