6 Best ROAD TRIPS FROM FAMOUS AUSSIE MOVIES
Impulsively taking to the open road to escape the stresses of modern life is an appealing prospect, particularly when you consider the endless opportunities for adventure our vast, beautiful country has to offer.
On the big screen, the tradition of displaced characters undergoing epic road trips has equally made for entertaining cinema. Whether it’s drag queens embarking on a lively tour through the backwaters in a bus, a cabby’s pub-trotting excursion to the Top End, or backpackers journeying through our awe-inspiring outback… it’s never a dull moment on the great Aussie road.
With thrill-seeking adventure on the agenda, we’ve taken six unique Aussie road trips from the silver screen and traced the routes and stopovers the characters have taken along the way. We’ve also suggested some convenient places to camp nearby to enable you to travel in the characters’ tracks and embark on your very own life-affirming journey.
So get ready to buckle up and hit the road to attempt some of these cinematic excursions yourself!
