the outback is hell, but worth it for the journey. I drove thousands of miles and i found it so refreshing to get to the coast. Townsville was absolute paradise compared with the dryness of the outback.
I still do this trip with my family almost every year darwin to brisbane... I was born n bred in brisbane then moved up to darwin for my bf at the time who is now my husband and also just recently did the trip over xmas with our 2 yr old daughter
Having lived in Mount Isa and now on the GC it was amazing to come on this journey with you both ☺️ have done this trip more times then can count 😅 it was great to see the open road again and Mount Isa for that fact ❤
Hi a great video. Thankyou! If you decide to drive to Darwin again or you feel like going to Alice Springs with a bit more adventure than can be found on the asphalt roads, try driving the Sandover Highway. It is more of a camping trip as accommodation is scarce for most of the trip. If a trip to Alice Springs is on your horizon, travel west via the Sandover Highway and return via the Plenty Highway. Beware there is a risk! You may never want to go home! A stunning trip! Stay safe on your travels.
I have one question…. In the middle of outback out of nowhere, can u get petrol for your car and food to eat or you bring everything with you for safety?
You can get extra food and fuel every few hours (on average) but you should always take spare incase you break down. Plus better to take fuel as it’s super expensive in the outback!
Can't take a dumb comment like that seriously. ALL of South East Asia AND Japan AND India drive on the left. too. Please don't come here , people like you cause accidents.

@@sdgmrs correct - I've been in the Territory for eight years and no-one refers to it by the old name. Seeing the rock in 1989 as a visitor, I think it still had the old name at the infamous campsite where Azaria disappeared, but a lot has changed since then.

It’s calmed down a lot now! But be sure to check online for government and state restrictions at the time of travel

Can't take them seriously because they drive on the wrong side of the road.

Charleville, my bad
It's Charleville, not charlvill, Ayers Rock not Uluru, petrol station not gas, and kilometres not miles, but good trip
Actually it is Uluru.. the now correct name for what was once called Ayers Rock
@@sdgmrs correct - I've been in the Territory for eight years and no-one refers to it by the old name. Seeing the rock in 1989 as a visitor, I think it still had the old name at the infamous campsite where Azaria disappeared, but a lot has changed since then.
The name Uluru is the respectful way to name it. That is what we do in New Zealand.
@@glendafield9797 Right you are, and most people have no problems with the pronunciation. Now consider the Whakapapa skifield as an example of the Maori sense of humour ;)
It’s Uluru 🤬
