Exploring Australia on Highway One

Large sections of Highway One are shared with the Australian National Highway, though the two are not synonymous. Highway One covers almost most of the inhabited parts of Australia, it has the ability to take you to the busy districts, resorts, aggressive and calm seas, forests, deserts, valleys and other landscapes that make up Australia. Those embarking on a large travel in Australia often chose to take the route of Highway 1.

Most of Highway One's length are a major road of Australia's busy district, it ranges from an eight-lane super highway to a two-lane country road. Enjoy Highway One with a campervan hire. Plenty of national parks and attractions can be enjoyed along.

Although this is a major highway, its road can vary, one 635 km section between Normanton in North Queensland and Borroloola in the Northern Territory is unsealed, most restricted to four wheel drive vehicles and open only on dry season. Some stretches are very isolated, such as the Eyre Highway, which crosses the Nullarbor Plain, and the Great Northern Highway, which runs close to the north-western coastline.

Whichever season you choose to get your wheels rolling, Highway One will take you to many exploration and discoveries. Thus making your campervan hire holiday memorable not to mention that you can collect a bunch of good looking views for your memories so do bring your best camera.

Highway One is well signposted but if you are keeping a drive along the busy centers, its better that you maintain your campervan on the left side as what it is expected to be. When overtaking, carefully drive to the right side and maintain your left lane after overtaking. Avoid holidays because roads can be crowded, be aware of special occasion as well.
