Australia and Cars

[[TW]Fox]

Sigh.... no I didn't do the Northern Territory which I'm dissapointed about. Reason being when she got to Australia a month or so before me my girlfriend travelled down from Darwin so she'd already done it and it was a LONG way to go for her to see something she had already seen so we left it off.

Next trip to Aus we'll start from Cairns, pick up a car, head through Outback Queensland to Alice Springs, up to Broome and around to Perth

Would be nice to see your route plan / notes if you still have them/ Remember i'm doing Cairns > Sydney so any notes about things to see along the way appreciated.

This is the route I planned before I went - we stuck vaguely to it but made detours etc.

What were your thoughts of Melbourne as a city? Got an opportunity to move over there to work & currently weighing up my options.

I loved Melbourne. Big city yet very compact, you can walk around the entire CBD and there is a fantastic tram system as well. Great place and some stunning scenery within a drive.

I've got to go and buy some tyres then I will go home and write part 2
