Some of the best road trips need an overnight stay or a couple of nights away, so these are ideal for a short holiday.\u00a0 Longer trips are the special ones that require you to fill up the car with all the luggage in preparation for taking a week or two off work.<\/p>\n<p>I reckon Canberra is a nice area to take some time out.\u00a0 From Sydney, you can travel southwest on the Hume Highway to Goulburn \u2013 the largest city on the Southern Tablelands. \u00a0Also known as the \u2018City of Roses\u2019, Goulburn has a number of interesting attractions, which include a number of special cafes. \u00a0From Goulburn, you can take the Federal Highway (Route 23), which passes Lake George before bringing you to the heart of Canberra, the national capital. \u00a0There\u2019s heaps to do, with over thirty national institutions, parks, bushland, some great restaurants and a thriving arts scene.\u00a0 Canberra offers fantastic activities and sights to see and experience for all the family.\u00a0 This would make a nice run in a Peugeot 407 or maybe a Mercedes Benz CLS-Class, where you can sit back in some premium comfort and allow the engine to purr along while you take in the sights and experience the people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you like to rough it a bit, then maybe a Northern Territory Outback adventure trip in a Mercedes GL-Class or Nissan Safari 3.0 TDi would tickle your fancy.\u00a0 The 2700 km trip from Augusta to Darwin is a sensational journey through the heartbeat of Australia.\u00a0 Be sure to go as part of a team, as it\u2019s always wise to put safety first.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t forget what would have to be one of the classic Aussie road trips: the Nullabor.\u00a0 This isn\u2019t the prettiest drive or the most challenging from a motoring perspective, but it is still a classic, even though it\u2019s a dead straight road with few features.\u00a0 That\u2019s the whole point \u2013 getting through the trip is an achievement in itself.\u00a0 Some people give themselves an added challenge: trying to do the Nullabor on as few gallons of petrol as possible by using \u201chypermiling\u201d techniques. Not a bad thing to try in a smaller economy vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>So, handing over to you lot then.\u00a0 Suggest a fair dinkum Aussie journey, tell us what the good bits are, propose what safety awareness might need to be taken note of and recommend the vehicle for the trip you have in mind. <a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/offers-zaim\/ekapusta-besplatniy-zaim.html\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/offers-zaim\/ekapusta-besplatniy-zaim.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A road trip in and around Australia is an excellent way to go about meeting new people, making new friends and tasting some of the best food (and beer) the country has to offer.\u00a0 Australia has many wonderful sights to see and experience.\u00a0 Wildlife is abundant in many places, and it is quite a rush [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-home"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=474"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12557,"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474\/revisions\/12557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
