Australia's extremely popular driving courses are not limited to young men's outings or sentimental excursions. They are similarly extraordinary occasion choices for families that need a radical new ordeal together. Bring back the nostalgia of childhood vacations through scenic drives as you embark on some of Australia’s famous driving routes. While you wind through stunning marvels of nature, pristine beaches and panoramic vistas, your children will make their own memories to last a lifetime. Plus, an Indian driving license is valid in Australia. So all you need to do is pick up a car and drive.
Along the eastern edge of Australia is one of the most scenic routes in the world — the Legendary Pacific Coast. The best way to experience it is to head north from vibrant Sydney to the adventure-packed Gold Coast, over the course of a week.
Stop to bushwalk, canoe, surf, waterski or sailboard at the Central Coast before heading to sample the fine wines of Hunter Valley, some 160 kilometres from Sydney. Once done with your wine tours, you can hand-feed kangaroos at the local zoo, hop on a hot air balloon ride or play a round of mini-golf.
With its 26 beaches on offer, spend the day at Port Stephens frolicking in the water and enjoy a pampered night in one of its many well-appointed resorts. En route to the beautiful resort town of Coffs Harbour, make stops along the way at Seal Rocks, Forster and the capacious beaches of Nambucca Heads.
Experience the uniquee Gondwanan rainforest in Dorrigo National Park about an hour’s drive from Coffs Harbour, before looping back around to the Pacific Coast and the hinterlands and beaches near the coastal town of Byron Bay.
Spend the last leg of your Pacific Coast journey on the Gold Coast in Queensland, discovering your inner child along with your kids as you jump from one adventure theme park to the next.
A coastal drive poised to literally take your breath away, the Great Ocean Road Drive begins a little over an hour west of the capital city, Melbourne, at the town of Torquay. The drive spans 243 kilometres of beachside vistas, ocean-soaked history, delicious local produce, and nature at its pristine best.
Torquay’s windswept shores are a great place for the entire family to indulge in some water sport adventures before travelling on to Lorne under the spell of the bitumen first carved out of the rocks by WWI veterans. After a relaxed night at Lorne’s luxury accommodations, drive along the Apollo Bay as dense forests plummet into rocky beaches around you. Here, you will witness the magnificent limestone towers of the Twelve Apostles as you steer your way above the notorious Shipwreck Coast towards the dainty village-town of Port Fairy.
Throwing the coast behind you, you will now wind north into continental Victoria and the craggy hills of the Grampians National Park. Driving through its sandstone ridges, you will arrive at Halls Gap for a stay enriched by walking explorations and aboriginal history.
From here, loop north towards Australia’s erstwhile goldfields and prepare for a trip down history with period-inspired architecture and quaint village stays near Bendigo and Ballarat. You will arrive back at Melbourne with a true Aussie experience under your belts.
