With its long, curving coastal roads, winding vineyard trails and dead straight tracks cutting through the red dirt, Australia is made for road tripping. Now that the country is open to fully vaccinated international travellers at last, it’s time to hit the highway and explore this big and bountiful country. Here are some of the best Australian adventures you can do in a long weekend. Be sure to check entry requirements and local restrictions before booking your trip.
