Has anyone done this or know if it's a good idea? Should we fly instead?
Thanks in advance  |
I've driven from Brisbane to Cairns some years ago as part of a full eastern circuit drive so I don't recall specifics. It's a big drive not to be rushed and not less than two days if only one driver but more ideally a week or more to see the sights worth seeing such as Frazer Island, Whit Sunday's etc. Look for what you want to see and base driving on that. Its a relatively stress free drive once out of the metro areas. Camping is good, motels relatively cheap and you're never far from civilisation if driving the coastal areas.
