If you’re planning to rent a vehicle and drive on your own in Australia, the following information could be valuable.
The most important thing to remember should you decide to go “off Road” (off a sealed road) in the Outback is to seek local advice on your intended route as well as ensuring someone locally knows of your travel plans. If your vehicle does break down in a remote area stay with it do not attempt to walk. Generally people who stay with their vehicles are located quickly and easily. Please note, that some rental suppliers do have conditions that limit the operation of their vehicles in the outback. Should you plan to go off road we suggest that you discuss your intended route with the rental company beforehand.
It is a legal requirement that any gates opened to allow your vehicle to pass through are closed afterwards. Any travel across designated Aboriginal Land will require permission from the owners beforehand. As the permit process varies from state to state (and can take up to six weeks to obtain). It is best to contact the national parks’ controlling body in each state prior to your journey.

Beautiful Australia: Sydney & Melbourne
Sydney and Melbourne are the two most populous cities of Australia.
Sydney is located on Australia’s south-east coast. The city is built around Port Jackson, which includes Sydney Harbour, leading to the city’s nickname, “the Harbour City”. It is Australia’s largest financial centre and is home to the Australian Stock Exchange. Sydney’s leading economic sectors include property and business services, retail, manufacturing, tourism, and health and community services.
If you happen to visit Sydney, you might want to refer CheaperThanHotels for some great deals on Sydney Hotels, especially the Darling Harbour Hotel. Darling Harbour throbs with activity day and night and has developed into one of Sydney’s largest dining, shopping and entertainment areas.
Melbourne on the other hand is a major centre of commerce, industry and cultural activity. The city is often referred to as Australia’s sporting and cultural capital and it is home to many of the nation’s most significant cultural and sporting events and institutions. Melbourne is notable for its mix of Victorian and contemporary architecture, its extensive tram network and Victorian parks and gardens, and its diverse, multicultural society. CheaperThanHotels has some great deals on Melbourne Hotels as well.
