Understand
When exploring the vast landscapes of Australia, it's important to know a few key things. Firstly, all measurements in Australia are metric, so get ready to embrace metres and kilometres. Aussies drive on the left side of the road, and most vehicles have their steering wheel on the right side. So don't be surprised if you find yourself in a car with a manual transmission, operated by the left hand. Rest assured, the arrangement of the pedals is standard worldwide. While major highways and roads in cities and towns are well-paved and maintained, heading into the remote Outback requires careful planning. You may travel long distances without any facilities, so make sure to stock up on fuel, water, and provisions. Be cautious of the challenging road conditions in these areas, where unsealed roads and difficult weather can pose challenges. And don't forget to bring a satellite phone for emergencies, as mobile phone coverage is often non-existent. In certain remote locations, permits may be needed to travel through Aboriginal communities, a unique opportunity to learn and respect the rich culture of these regions.
