I'll be needing to drive about 9 hours or so by myself and keen to hear any tips or tricks. Going from Sydney to Sale, Victoria.
I've been on family road trips in the past but that was when I was much younger and didn't really pay attention to the planning or actual driving part of the journey. Further I've only been driving around local metropolitan roads and expressways so not used to long stretches of country road.
Looking for perhaps ideas or recommended practices, things to take along which proved handy in your experience, maybe good snacks to eat while driving?
Any other related discussion also very welcome. Thanks for reading.
Make sure you take sufficient breaks along the journey because it about the journey and not reaching the destination as fast as you can
Have some snacks and water in the car and some warm clothes in the car in case your car dies etc. Atleast you are fed and warm
Let someone know where you are after some distance. They will know where you are etc
Find some good spots to chill along the way. Take some photos etc.
That's all for a 9 hr trip ;) have fun OP !
Oh and a good playlist while driving.
Oh and download the maps offline in case signal lost etc
