The Importance Of Road Trips

812 Words4 Pages

We Australians love a good vacation. While others may head off to a sandy beach in a tourist bus, we love to pack our bags, get the group into a car and drive off into the sunset. Road trips are an iconic and Australian way to have a good time.

The appeal of road trips isn’t a big wonder. Australia is full of stunning roads with scenic views to amaze and quirky towns to explore. You can have a glamorous road trip on the southern coast or do something adventurous in the outskirts of Uluru. Whether you are into vineyards or sandy beaches, there is something for you to discover on the roads of Australia.

Sort your vehicle insurance

It’s essential to have your vehicle insured. If you’re using your own vehicle, check the insurance coverage to ensure there are no road trip restrictions. If you’re opting for car rental, make sure to have a proper insurance to go with your vehicle.

Car rental or your own vehicle?

A big chunk of your time will be spent driving around and this means you want a good set of wheels underneath you. The options are to opt for car rental, such as a caravan, or to use your own vehicle for the trip. It all depends on what you have available and how it fits with your travel plans. You definitely don’t want to drive in the outback in a tiny city car. If you need to pack in a lot of stuff from tents to food items, you should consider opting for a larger rental vehicle to avoid making your car overweight.

People living in mountainous areas also have to be considered.

    Speeding up At the beginning of the cross country season I hated cross country absolutely hated it, I would walk down the hallway of saline middle school look at all of the pictures on the wall and saw some of kids running and thought why is My mom doing this to me? I thought I was a terrible at it, I would run like a 9 or 10 minute mile. So when the school year came along I dreaded the end of the day I would look at the clock and think a tiny bit longer, please just a wee longer (and that is very very rare.)
