Australia on Highway One
Large
sections of Highway 1 are shared with the Australian National Highway,
though the two are not synonymous. Highway One covers almost most of
the inhabited parts of Australia, it has the ability to take you to the
busy districts, resorts, aggressive and calm seas, forests, deserts,
valleys and other landscapes that make up Australia. Those embarking on
a large travel in Australia often chose to take the route of Highway 1.
Highway One is well signposted but if you are keeping a drive along the busy centers, its better that you maintain your campervan on the left side as what it is expected to be. When overtaking, carefully drive to the right side and maintain your left lane after overtaking. Avoid holidays because roads can be crowded, be aware of special occassions as well.
Most
of its length is a major road of Australia's busy district, it ranges
from an eight-lane super highway to a two-lane country road. Plenty of
national parks and attractions can be enjoyed along this way. Although
this is a major highway, its road can vary. One 635 km section between
Normanton in North Queensland and Borroloola in the Northern Territory
is unsealed, most restricted to four wheel drive vehicles and open only
on dry season. Some stretches are very isolated, such as the Eyre
Highway, which crosses the Nullarbor Plain, and the Great Northern
Highway, which runs close to the north-western coastline.
Whichever
season you choose to get your wheels rolling, Highway One will take you
to many exploration and discoveries. Thus making your campervan
holiday memorable not to mention that you can collect a bunch of good
looking views for your memories so do bring your best camera.
