Great Aussie road trips

Looking for somewhere to go for the day or a little bit longer during the Christmas and holiday period.

Many Brimbank residents will aim to head down to the Great Ocean Road.

With the road shortlisted as one of Australia’s greatest road trips, it’s hard to see why not.

With the holiday season upon us, lockdowns, closed states and no overseas holidays dominating the past 24 months, the GOR is a perfect getaway destination this summer.

The question has been posed by dash cam manufacturer Nextbase, putting one of the great Aussie pub questions to the people of the nation.

Ten iconic road trips have been shortlisted, from the world famous Great Ocean Road to the once-in-a-lifetime experience of driving the Birdsville Track.

If the beach isn’t your fancy, then maybe there’s somewhere else on the list that is more to your taste.
