1) No trip can be planned without a good map. Make sure you get your hands on a good map to plan out and help you complete your itinerary.

In Australia driving is on the left hand side and you must obey all road signage. Look out for different road markings and signs, parking zones and speed limits. For further details on the rules of the road in Australia please check out The Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure website.
