Being a Tourism writer most of time is spent on planes and in chauffeur driven cars, or even taxis. Unfortunately for me one of my greatest passions in life is driving. So my dream holiday has always been to drive around Australia, considering the size of the country that is quite a big dream to have. So I decided to follow my dream and to keep a record of it as a guide to any tourist’s domestic or international that would like to try the same thing.
As I said I’ve always wanted to take a long holiday in a beautiful place with lovely weather and long seemingly endless roads where I would be able to drive to my heart’s content. This year I’d decided to finally take the long awaited holiday around Australia and I’m glad I did.
Being an Australian there is a certain amount of patriotism involved in this venture. But it is such a massive and beautiful country that the only way to really appreciate it is to drive across the whole damn thing.
To start things off I organised my car, car hire in Australia is a pretty straight forward process and it wasn’t long before I was all paid up and ready to start the great journey. Driving in on your Australian holiday isn’t that big an issue if you are from the UK or New Zealand as the cars drive on the same side of the road. But for visitors from other parts of the world it can be quite a challenge, but take your time and don’t rush and you can have a great driving holiday around Australia.
My holiday in Australia started out from the gold coast in Queensland where I was staying and decided to move towards the northern territory. This region is a striking study in contrasts. I drove through the lush rainforests of Kakadu and Katherine to the arid red desert of the Red Centre in Alice Springs. I also went to the great rock, Uluru. The land is full of surprises. One minute you’re in a rain forest and the next you’ve crossed into an arid plain. Amazing! I’d never imagined that my Holiday in Australia could be so interesting.
From the Northern Territory I moved south wards to the Southern part of Australia where the wineries are located. I had a fabulous time and really enjoyed this part of my holiday in Australia. I visited a couple of the famous wineries and enjoyed driving through the vineyards.
I was sorry when my two weeks of holiday time in Australia came to an end and I had to come back. I would have loved to extend my holiday in Australia but then work is work.
I’d love to go back. I’m already making plans to take another holiday in Australia and this time I’m going to explore the other regions and the National capital territory.
I had a great time and I’m sure that any one who goes will have a fabulous holiday in Australia.
