After road tripping Australia for 5+ years, this is one route where the best bits are actually on the way to the destination! Jervis Bay is the obvious highlight, and it deserves a big chunk of your time (4-5 days ideally). The small towns, beaches, and coastal walks on the way to Batemans Bay are…
The drive from Cairns up to Port Douglas and into the Daintree is Australia is one of Australia’s iconic drives.

Esperance has some of the BEST beaches in Australia. We’ve been there 4 times over 5+ years road-tripping the country, and we still can’t get enough of it!
