Distances between the major cities

Driving distances Australia - How far is it from Perth to Sydney?

Australia is a big country, I already told you :-). Driving in Australia needs a bit planning. I'd love to help you.

As a traveller in Australia you won't just drive from A to B. You will certainly explore and detour to highlights along your way. So the trip from Sydney to Brisbane for example, can easily result in 1500 km or more.

Also, the table shows the quickest connections. Mostly, there are minor highways that are much more interesting for tourists, especially between the metropolis in the south-east. For example, take the Princes Hwy from Adelaide to Melbourne, and detour along the stunning Great Ocean Road.

Driving hundreds of kilometres a day includes one major danger: fatigue. Don't forget to stop frequently for a short walk. That will help you to keep your eyes open.

The Australian facts page has more information about the Australian continent and its dimensions.

Even if you just travel between the major cities in Australia, you'll get to see a great deal of the Australian Outback.
