the longest drive you have ever taken
toronto to fort lauderdale - 1400 miles
toronto to hailfax - 1100 miles
Melbourne Victoria to central north Queensland - 1400 miles
would that be mostly through the outback?
shareNo the outback is a serious place and you have to know what you're doing and be properly prepared to travel through it safely. I have taken the coastal route and the inland route through central New South Wales which I prefer because it is much less busy as far as traffic goes and the scenery is different to what I'm used to. More sparse, open and arid than Melbourne and the coast so it makes for a change.
The outback starts in western New South Wales generally speaking although you could say the same for parts of far western Victoria as well.
thanks. i am never sure where the outback begins in australia.
shareThis satellite image gives a pretty good indication. As the green gives way to the brown that's where the outback begins broadly speaking.
