Driving from Mackay Airport

Look out for Thrifty, as they usually include a free extra driver in their rates and Zero Excess on some vehicles. One ways are allowed but fees may apply depending on where in Australia you are going and how long you intend renting the car for. The fee will be included in the rental price and this is paid locally.

If driving outside of the towns, then you need to check where you are going, as, for example, night driving may not be allowed, because of the danger of a kangaroo jumping onto your car bonnet. Taking cars off a surfaced road to bounce along a dirt track can also prove costly, as insurances do not normally cover the wheels and underside of the car, and driving through a Ford, through a ford on a river, is a no-no.

Around & About Australia

It is a vast continent, with natural wonders such as the Great Barrier and the Gold Coast, where hiring a car is pretty much a must. Then there are the lush ancient rain-forests of Queensland. These hold many medical cures and potions, known only to the indigenous Aboriginal.

Sydney

This is where most tours of Oz start from.Sydney has built a reputation for fine dining, which in part is a result of its diverse ethnic background. It also has has the Sydney Opera House, next to the bridge and harbour. Take a walk over the bridge, and we mean up and over! A night out in The Rocks is highly recommended. Also see such places as the Blue Mountains and Bondi Beach.

Adelaide

The capital of South Australia and the ideal base for touring the wine regions of Borossa Valley. Drive to the vineyards, that can be reached inside an hour from Adelaide. Enjoy a good lunch in the local restaurants, or out in the vineyards.

Perth

The gateway to Western Australia, with its wild and vivid landscapes. It also has its very own barrier reef, Ningaloo Park, with coral beds stretching over 150 miles.

Melbourne

The sporting centre of Australia. It holds the annual horse racing event, the Melbourne Cup, which brings Melborne, and the country, to a stand. It also hosts the ATP tennis Grand Slam tournament. The Grand Prix circuit visits every year. Test matches at the MCG are a must, as are the AFL matches that are played there. Oh, and I forget to mention the rugby, both union and league.

Take The Great Ocean Road, which runs along the south coast with sixty six miles of eroded rock, known as the Twelve Apostles.

Cairns
