  1. 8 Amazing Places for a Road Trip in Australia With travel restrictions in place, people are itching to plan their next getaway. And there is no reason not to start planning your post-lockdown dream holiday now. For many British tourists Australia is high up on their list of dream destinations, but the sheer size of the country is intimidating. Where do you start and how do you get around, as a single parent family? One of the most convenient ways to get around and explore Australia is a road trip, which is not only in quintessential Aussie fashion but also makes for a cracking good time with kids. Here are some ideas for a road trip with kids in Australia to inspire your next single parent holiday. Road Trip Tips for a Holiday with Kids First things first, you will need a car as soon as you land. Luckily, there are plenty of car rental companies at your disposal at every major airport, so it should be no problem to find the perfect set of wheels for your holiday. If you are looking for a versatile car that is good for Australia’s open roads, desert sand and bush tracks, and comfortable for your family, then opt for a four-wheel drive, ute, or even a kombi to ride in style. If you haven’t taken out insurance for minor car dents during your road trip, you needn’t worry as you can use sites like DingGo to get a quote should you have been caught in a sticky situation, such as a kangaroo hitting your car. Don’t forget that in Australia you might be travelling through National Parks that require permits, and also roads with tolls. Research the areas before you go so you can organise any permits and toll cards you might need because they change from state to state. The Great Ocean Road, VIC One of Australia’s most popular road trip destinations, The Great Ocean Road is a unique experience. Travelling from Torquay to Allansford, there are many sights to see from wonders of nature like The Twelve Apostles (now with only eight standing), to activities in towns along the way like wine tastings and chocolatier classes. During your road trip you can even park your vehicle and complete some of the Great Ocean Walk, as the walk itself takes eight days to complete. Route: 234 kilometres Location: Torquay to Allansford.

  2. Time: Recommended time is three days, or a six-day return road trip. Sights: The Twelve Apostles, Port Campbell National Park, Loch Ard Gorge, Apollo Bay. The Grand Pacific Drive The Grand Pacific Drive is perfect for British tourists as well as Sydneysiders wanting a coastal getaway. Starting less than an hour away from the city in the Royal National Park, this road trip shows off some of the best coastal towns Australia has to offer. Travel across the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge to explore trendy Thirroul before heading down to Wollongong City, where we recommend spending a minimum one day and one night. Then travel to Kiama, where you can see the famous blowhole, and continue along the stunning seaside! Route: 140 kilometres Location: Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Shoalhaven. Time: Day trip or week-long trip to stop at various locations. Sights: Royal National Park, Wattamolla lagoon, Sea Cliff Bridge, Illawarra escarpment area, Kiama Blowhole, Berry Tea Shop, Minamurra rainforest.
