Essential safe driving tips for road trips in Australia

• Wildlife: Slow down, especially at dawn and dusk, to avoid collisions with wildlife.

• Driving Side: Always drive on the left-hand side of the road.

• Mobile Use: Avoid using your mobile phone while driving.

• Speed Limits: Stick to speed limits and only park in designated areas.

• Seatbelts: Always wear your seatbelt correctly. Australia has cameras to monitor seatbelt use, and fines apply for incorrect usage.

Check fluids of your campervan regularly

Regularly checking your vehicle’s fluids is crucial. Aussie roads can be remote, long, and rougher than those in other regions, like Europe. Staying on top of these checks helps prevent serious mechanical issues and ensures a smooth journey. Please regularly check the following:

• engine oil (see how to do this)

• coolant

• brake fluid

• transmission fluid

• power steering fluid

• windshield washer fluid
