Driving Around Australia

Many travelers to Australia who want to drive their way around the country will buy a car on the east/west coast and sell it on the opposite coast. Driving yourself around certainly allows you the most freedom. You can stop at a secluded beach that looks appealing or pause at roadside fruit stands as you wish. The only downside to driving are the long stretches of seemingly endless roads. It can get very tiring and fatigue is a big killer on the Australian roads.

The easiest way to acquire a car is to visit a car dealership and there are many companies that sell cars primarily to travelers such as Travellers Autobarn . Most dealerships offer a buy back guarantee which can be handy if you want no hassle when getting rid of the car. But the buy back price will most likely be less than what you could get if you advertised in a paper or on hostel notice boards.

When you buy a car make sure it has a road worthy certificate as you won’t be able to drive without one. And remember to drive on the correct side of the road (left in Australia).
