Perth to Queensland: A Road Trip Odyssey (or How Not to Get Lost in the Outback with Only a Bunnings Snag to Your Name)
So, you've got the itch for adventure, hey? Sunburnt shoulders, questionable road tunes blaring from the radio, and the wide-open road stretching out before you like a wrinkle on Granny's favourite tablecloth. You're thinking Queensland, land of sunshine, beaches, and theme parks that defy the laws of physics (looking at you, giant funnel cake). But here's the thing, mate, Perth ain't exactly next door.
How long does this odyssey take, you ask? Buckle up, because it's a doozy.
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
We're talking about a mammoth 4,347 kilometres (give or take a kangaroo crossing). That's roughly the distance from Perth to...well, let's just say you could drive to the top of New Zealand and back with kilometres to spare. In layman's terms, that's about 46 hours of quality time with your car (assuming a perfect world with no detours, endless snacks, or existential breakdowns over the meaning of life in the middle of the Nullarbor).
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.
But fear not, intrepid explorer! This is a journey, not a race. There are ghost towns to explore, wombats to admire (from a safe distance, of course), and truck stops with coffee so strong it could jump-start a flat battery.

- "Where am I in the middle of nowhere?" Download an offline map, my friend. Service can be patchy in the outback, and let's be honest, who wants to rely on a weak signal when you could be using that phone for boomerang selfies?
- "Help! I've run out of snacks!" Pack like you're prepping for the apocalypse. Extra water, non-perishable snacks, and a good old fashioned thermos for that cuppa that'll save your sanity.
- "This kangaroo stared at me for an uncomfortably long time." Don't swerve! Brace, slow down, and let the roos do their thing. Remember, they own the road out there.
