Australia drives on the left side of the road. Road conditions are excellent on major highways, but rural and outback routes may be unsealed. Distances between cities are significant - Sydney to Melbourne is 870 km, while crossing the continent can exceed 4,000 km. Speed limits are strictly enforced, with mobile and fixed speed cameras throughout the country. Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers, and drink-driving laws are rigorously applied with random breath testing common.
Wildlife presents a genuine hazard, particularly at dawn and dusk when kangaroos and other animals are active. In remote areas, ensure your vehicle has adequate fuel and water supplies. Roadside assistance coverage is recommended for long-distance travel. Toll roads operate in major cities including Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane - check with your rental company regarding toll payment methods before departure.
