Getting There

Self-Drive: be informed and enjoy your drive.

When travelling on the main routes, the majority of roads are sealed and in good condition, and can be travelled on by a regular vehicle. Some unsealed roads may also be suitable for standard vehicles, however conditions can vary, so it is important to check before travelling.

FUEL UP

On major highways, fuel stops are rarely more than 200 km apart, so carrying spare fuel is generally not required. However, where “no fuel” signs are in place, they should be taken seriously. Travellers should ensure they carry water and basic supplies.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE TRAVELLERS

Outback Queensland is becoming increasingly EV-friendly, with the Electric Super Highway connecting a number of regional and remote communities. While the network continues to expand, travellers should plan ahead when covering longer distances.

ROAD CONDITIONS

Check current conditions at the local Visitor Information Centre or via official road reports before travel.

HEAVY VEHICLES & ROAD TRAINS

Care should be taken when passing and overtaking road trains and heavy vehicles, including other caravans. Ensure you have a clear line of sight, allow plenty of room and be prepared for vehicles to move a little from side to side as you overtake.

SINGLE LANE DRIVING

When meeting road trains and heavy vehicles on single lane roads, slow right down and move off the road to the left. If it is safe to do so, move off the road entirely and stop to avoid driving into any obstacles on the verge.

FATIGUE AND NIGHT DRIVING

Long distances and stretches of unchanging landscape can make a driver very tired. Avoid driving at night as much as possible, kangaroos and other wildlife are much more active at night and are harder to see on the roads.
