To make the most of your road trip we ask that you stay vigilant and drive with safety as your number one priority.

IF IT'S FLOODED, FORGET IT
- If it's flooded don't even chance it.
- Where possible travel during the day to avoid the kangaroos.
- If you are on a single lane stretch of road and a large heavy vehicle is coming the other way, pull over to beside the road to let them pass (this includes vehicles carrying stock such as smaller cattle trucks & horse floats). It's a lot safer and easier for you to slow down and get off the road than it is for them.
