Summer 2025/26 is shaping up to be one for the books. And if road trips Australia-wide are already calling your name, you’re not alone. As the mercury rises and the days grow longer, the call of Australia’s open roads gets harder to ignore.
It’s the season for salty air, sunset swims and cracking open the esky at a roadside lookout. Whether you’re planning a big family adventure or a relaxed coastal escape, nothing beats the freedom of choosing your own route, waking up somewhere new, and knowing everything you need is travelling with you.
To help you make the most of it, we’ve rounded up seven incredible road trips across Australia. Every route is packed with unforgettable views, hidden gems, and the kind of wide-open beauty that stays with you long after the journey ends.
There’s nothing quite like an Australian summer road trip. It’s that electric feeling of freedom as you leave the city behind, with the windows down, breeze in your hair, music playing, and the whole country stretching out ahead of you.
What makes it one to truly remember is the way it blends flexibility, comfort and connection all in one unforgettable journey. You’re not locked into schedules or fixed destinations on the open road. Simply follow the sunshine, find the best surf, or stay longer when a spot steals your heart.
And the beauty of travelling by caravan? You take the comforts of home with you. With space to cook, sleep and unwind—plus cool air on warm nights—you can focus on what really matters; that is, slowing down, sharing moments, and soaking up the road together.
From toasting marshmallows by the fire and slow brekkies with a view, to stumbling across a hidden beach with no one else in sight, road tripping opens up a side of Australia most people never get to see.
With the van packed, the esky chilled, and the whole family buzzing with excitement, only one question remains—where to first?
To help you plan the ultimate road trips Australia has to offer this summer, we’ve rounded up seven unforgettable hotspots worth adding to your list. Each one offers its own flavour of freedom, wonder and wide-open beauty.
A classic coastal drive with cinematic views at every turn. Wind your way along dramatic cliffs, past golden beaches and sleepy seaside towns. This route is iconic for a reason.
Slow-paced and spectacular, Tassie’s east coast is all about white sands, turquoise waters and cool-climate treats. With fewer crowds and endless scenic pull-ups, it’s made for those who like their summer with a side of serenity.
This legendary transcontinental route stretches over 3,700 kilometres from tropical Cairns in Queensland to the pearling town of Broome in Western Australia.
Crossing through the heart of the Top End, it’s one of Australia’s great overland adventures. Rich with Indigenous history, outback towns, and natural wonders carved by time. Expect long red dirt roads, remote national parks, and the kind of silence that only exists in true wilderness.
This classic Aussie coastal adventure covers more than 2,400 kilometres of ever-changing scenery. It’s a road trip that’s all about variety, offering everything from golden beaches and surf towns to lush rainforests and vibrant regional hubs.
You’ll cruise past rolling vineyards, explore national parks teeming with wildlife, and dip into warm coastal waters whenever the mood strikes. With theme parks, aquariums and beachside playgrounds along the way, it’s a true winner for adventure-loving families.
Rugged and remote, this loop is one of Australia’s best-kept secrets. The journey takes you along dramatic coastal cliffs, windswept beaches, and quiet fishing towns where the seafood is as fresh as it gets.
Expect wild scenery, world-class oysters and unforgettable wildlife encounters, from dolphins and sea lions to great whites (if you’re game!).
A journey that takes you from the bustle of Perth to one of Australia’s most untouched marine wonderlands.
Along the way, you’ll travel through striking desert landscapes, explore national parks, and arrive at the world-heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef. Here you can swim with whale sharks, snorkel vibrant coral gardens, and unwind in laid-back coastal towns.
Short in distance but big on beauty. This lush tropical drive takes you deep into the Daintree, where the rainforest meets the reef and every twist in the road feels like another world.
Planning to hit the road this summer with kids in tow? Here are a few easy tips to help keep your road trip cool, comfortable and stress-free, especially when the scorching summer temperatures climb.
