Roadtrip of a lifetime

Why not buy a car and drive across Australia?

Said and done!

On August 24th, Manon and I went on the biggest road trip of my trip to Australia so far in our converted car “Steve”.

9,000 km, 6 weeks, one food poisoning and one car breakdown later, we arrived safely in Cairns.

The stops:

• Wilsons Promontory - One of Australia's most beautiful national parks
• Great Ocean Road - Beautiful route including stops along the ocean
  
• Adelaide - Pleasant "small town" compared to Sydney and Melbourne
• Flinders Ranges - Beautiful mountain range in the hinterland of South Australia
• Coober Pedy - opal town in the middle of nowhere, looks like little but has a lot to offer, highlight: drive in cinema
• Uluru and Kata Tjuta - The big red nothing, beautiful and incredibly impressive
• Kings Canyon - More red mountains in the great outback
• West McDonald Ranges - Wide gorges, cold lakes and gospel concerts right in the mountains
• Alice Springs - An unwanted stop due to said food poisoning and technical breakdown
• Daintree Forest - The oldest rainforest on earth impresses with beautiful forests right on the ocean
• Cairns
