Year-round
Okay, picture this: you're up in the Aupouri Peninsula, practically at the tippy-top of New Zealand's North Island, heading to a hidden gem called Tapotupotu Beach.
Now, the road in – Tapotupotu Road – it's a bit of an adventure in itself. Forget smooth tarmac; this is a 3.1km (1.92 miles) stretch of well-maintained gravel, kicking up a cloud of dust as you go. It's a single lane, so take your time and enjoy the ride.
Starting from the main drag (State Highway 1), you'll soon be breathing in that fresh, salty air. Just a heads up: this beach is wild and unpatrolled, so keep your wits about you if you're planning a swim. But hey, bragging rights are yours for visiting one of New Zealand's northernmost beaches, practically next door to Cape Reinga!

extremeThe road to Mount Barrow is worth the white-knuckle drive
🌍 Tasmania
# Mount Barrow: Tasmania's Ultimate High-Altitude Adventure Ready for a thrilling mountain drive that'll get your heart pumping? Mount Barrow, sitting pretty at 1,359m (4,458ft) in northeastern Tasmania near Launceston, is calling your name—but fair warning: this isn't for the faint of heart or anyone queasy around hairpin turns on dirt roads. Welcome to one of the world's most breathtaking drives. The journey starts innocuously enough on the paved A3, then transitions to Mount Barrow Road (C404), an entirely unpaved route that's narrow, winding, and absolutely spectacular. The first 10km cruises along a well-maintained gravel surface through rolling farmland and forests—pretty chill, actually. But here's where things get spicy. Once you hit the Mount Barrow State Reserve boundary (complete with parking and picnic areas), the real adventure begins. Beyond this point, the road officially welcomes only 4WD vehicles, and honestly, you'll see why. Think intense switchbacks rivaling the famous Jacobs Ladder nearby, with gradients hitting 16% and a total elevation gain of 1,027 meters over 16.1km. That's an average gradient of 6.37% for those keeping score. You're looking at 45-60 minutes of white-knuckle driving, depending on how many photo stops you take. The final 1.5km breaks the tree line around 1,000m elevation, revealing the most stunning panoramic vistas of the Tamar Valley and eastern mountains you'll ever see. Heads up though: winter's no joke here. The road closes periodically due to snow (which hits around 1,100m), and road conditions can deteriorate significantly. This is Tasmania's closest regular snowfall location to Launceston, so 4WD is genuinely essential during colder months. At the summit, you'll find transmission facilities powering northeast Tasmania's TV and radio signals—plus those truly epic views. Absolutely worth the drive.
easyWhere is Aramoana Road?
🇳🇿 New Zealand
Cruising up the South Island of New Zealand? You HAVE to check out Aramoana Road! This coastal gem hugs the southeast coast, just northeast of Dunedin, near the entrance to Otago Harbour. Seriously, it's like driving on the edge of the world with the ocean right there beside you. Aramoana even means "sea path" in Māori! The paved road stretches for about 10.7 km (6.64 miles) from Port Chalmers up to Aramoana. It's not just any drive; it's a coastal rollercoaster that winds around the bays, constantly serving up unreal views. Now, fair warning: some folks might find it a bit...intense. You're *right* next to the water with, in some spots, nothing between you and the waves! If you're not comfortable driving super close to the sea, this might be a bit unnerving. But for thrill-seekers and view-chasers? It's pure magic!
extremeWhere is Port Jackson?
🇳🇿 New Zealand
Okay, picture this: you're on the North Island of New Zealand, itching for an adventure, and I say, "Let's go to Port Jackson!" This little beach town, famous for its amazing campsite, is tucked away at the very tip of the Coromandel Peninsula. Now, getting there is half the fun – emphasis on *fun*, but also *challenging*! Port Jackson Road is about 26 km (16 miles) of unadulterated gravel road that winds from Colville Road right to the beach. Translation? It's narrow, winding, and remote. Hold on tight, because you'll be dealing with some serious drop-offs. I'm talking hundreds of meters straight down, with nothing but air between you and the ocean below. If you're prone to vertigo, maybe keep your eyes on the road! And because of damage from storms, there are some stretches where one vehicle has to wait for the other to pass. Ideally, you'll want a trusty 4WD for this trip. And if you're towing anything, be prepared to do some reversing if you meet someone coming the other way. But here's the payoff: the coastal views are absolutely breathtaking. Imagine rugged, hilly terrain on one side and the wild, untamed ocean on the other. Plus, Port Jackson itself is all about stunning beaches and outdoor adventures. Give yourself about an hour to make the drive without stopping. It's quieter in winter, but summertime (especially mid-December to mid-January) can get busy with campervans and boat-towing vehicles. If you're a newbie driver, maybe skip this one during peak season. Otherwise, hit the road early to beat the crowds!
extremeEyre Highway: driving 146km (91mi) without any turn
🇦🇺 Australia
# The Eyre Highway: Australia's Ultimate Outback Adventure Ready for one of Australia's most iconic road trips? The Eyre Highway stretches a massive 1,664 km (1,034 miles) across the heart of the Nullarbor Plain, connecting the goldfields town of Norseman in Western Australia to the bustling port city of Port Augusta in South Australia. This fully sealed route is completely drivable in a standard vehicle, making it accessible for any adventurous road tripper. What makes this highway truly legendary? It boasts what's arguably the longest straight stretch of road in the country—a mind-blowing 146.6 kilometres (91.1 mi) with zero turns between the tiny roadhouse communities of Balladonia and Caiguna. Named after explorer Edward John Eyre, this route was originally just a rough track when it opened between 1941-1942, but thankfully it's been progressively sealed. The final stretch was paved in 1976. Here's the reality of driving here: it's genuinely remote. While the eastern sections have some towns, the western half is seriously isolated. This remoteness has led to some creative solutions—sections of the road actually double as emergency airstrips for the Royal Flying Doctor Service, complete with painted runway markings. Services are spaced thoughtfully enough that you won't need to carry extra fuel, though not all stations run 24/7, so plan ahead if you're traveling after hours. The biggest hazards? Driver fatigue and wildlife. Kangaroos, emus, and camels roam freely across this landscape, and they're especially active at dawn and dusk when they're most likely to dart across the road. Some communities now offer free coffee to keep drivers alert and encourage well-needed breaks. Expect to spend 2-3 days driving this epic route. While it's undeniably long and sparse, that's exactly why it's considered one of Australia's greatest road trips—a raw, authentic experience of the real outback and the country's pioneering spirit.
