Our favourite road trips in Australasia

Cut through the heart of Australia on a self-drive adventure through the Outback, or hug the country on coastal road journeys. Experience New Zealand’s wide-open spaces and magnificent scenery by road, then access quaint farms, luxury lodges and vineyards. Road tripping is arguably the best way to see Australasia thanks to its great infrastructure. Our Lightfoot Travel experts can plan out a road trip while taking into account your preferences for routes, pit stops, and accommodation.

From Sydney, take the legendary Pacific Coast journey to Brisbane and drive through lush national parks, stunning beaches, and charming towns. Circle Tasmania by car to take in the east’s beaches, the west’s rugged wilderness, and attractions like Wineglass Bay, Cradle Mountain and the Bay of Fires.

A self-drive vacation in New Zealand can transport you from the geothermal wonderland of Rotorua, through the picturesque vineyards of Marlborough, to the magical Milford Sounds.
