Do You Want To Know More About Doing A Big Lap of Australia?
Here Are Some FAQs From
Other Travellers
Q1. How long is the lap of Australia road trip?
If you stay on Highway 1, a lap of Australia is around 15,000 km. However, most Lappers don’t stick to the coastal road and tackle iconic road trips such as the Port Development Road to the northern tip of Australia to Cape York. And The Savannah Way and other Aussie iconic road trips.
Most Lappers travel between 15,000 and 30,000 km to circumnavigate Australia.
Q2. How long does it take to do a lap of Australia?
A lap of Australia has been driven in 6 days, and we read that some travellers have driven around Australia 50 times! Most Lappers take a gap year and do the lap in twelve months. Others (ourselves included) travel full-time around Australia with no set plans or end date.
Q3. Which direction is the best to take when doing the big lap of Australia?
Some travellers say anti-clockwise is best, others clockwise. We recommend you travel using the seasons as your guide. Head north in the winter months and south in the summer months.
