Okay, adventurers, listen up! Ready for a true Aussie outback experience? The Tablelands Highway (aka State Route 11) in the Northern Territory is calling your name! Built back in the 60s to move cattle, this baby is remote. We're talking *no* towns, *no* services for the entire length.
Picture this: 375 km (233 miles) of single-lane sealed road stretching from Barkly Homestead. Yes, it's bitumen all the way, but hold your horses! Some spots are rough, with a narrow strip of bitumen. Thankfully, traffic is light. It's undulating terrain, caravan-friendly, and generally open year-round.
Now, for the nitty-gritty: If you see a vehicle coming—especially a road train—slow *way* down and get completely off the road. Trust me on this one. Also, watch out for washouts on the shoulders after rain. Oh, and cattle! This is unfenced country, so expect to share the road with our bovine friends. Keep your eyes peeled!

hardGreat Alpine Road is Australia's highest year-round accessible paved road
🇦🇺 Australia
# Great Alpine Road: Australia's Most Spectacular Alpine Drive Ready for one of the world's most breathtaking road trips? The Great Alpine Road is calling your name. This stunning 303 km (188 mi) route winds through Victoria's mountains and has earned the title of Australia's highest year-round sealed road. The official name was adopted on April 4, 1998, and it's been stealing hearts ever since. ## The Journey Unfolds Starting in Wangaratta in northeast Victoria, you'll ease into the drive through charming farmland and vineyard-dotted valleys before hitting the charming town of Bright. The scenery continues to impress as you cruise toward Harrietville, passing through picturesque countryside at every turn. Then things get serious. The road climbs steeply toward Mount Hotham with relentless switchbacks and hairpin turns that demand your full attention. This is where you'll feel your heart racing—it's genuinely challenging driving. After conquering Mount Hotham, it's a quick 15-minute descent to Dinner Plain, followed by more twisty, steep terrain that keeps you on your toes. You'll reach Omeo in another 5-15 minutes. From Omeo to Bruthern, expect moderate slopes and winding roads before things finally straighten out on the run to Bairnsdale, your finishing point in East Gippsland. ## What You Need to Know This road demands respect. The pavement is solid throughout, but it's narrow in places—just barely wide enough for two-way traffic. Those steep mountain drops? Many sections lack guardrails, so stay focused and take it slow. The Mount Hotham section peaks at a dramatic 1,840m (6,040ft). Winter transforms this into snow country, and the road regularly closes from late autumn through early spring. If you're heading up during snow season, chains are compulsory—you can rent them one-way from either side. Between Omeo and Harrietville, caravans aren't recommended, and larger RVs need extra caution. This is the kind of drive that rewards careful drivers with unforgettable views and genuine adventure.
easyDriving the Scenic Haast Highway Along the West Coast of the South Island
🇳🇿 New Zealand
Okay, picture this: the Haast Highway, a legendary ribbon of road snaking along the wild West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. Seriously, it's one of *those* drives you dream about! It's part of State Highway 6, and fully paved so don't worry! You're looking at about 276 kilometers (171 miles) of pure driving bliss along the rugged coastline, carving its way through the Westland District. Think Haast, a cute little town by the Haast River, all the way up to Hokitika, the district's main hub. Without stopping (but why wouldn't you?!), it's a 3-4 hour cruise. But trust me, you'll want to budget extra time. This route hugs the coast with hidden bays and scenic stops practically begging for you to pull over and soak it all in. I'm talking postcard-perfect views, people! It's a must-do for any South Island road trip.
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.
