After a last minute delay which required the car towing electricals serviced, we said bye to Perth, Western Australia, on a cold winter’s day.
Finally on the road and putting the new car navigation AV and camera systems through their paces (Pioneer AVIC-F70DAB and BlackVue DR650GW-2CH).
Highway 1 goes right around Australia and it’s network of highways joins all mainland state capitals. At approximately 14,500 km (9,000 mi) long, it is the longest national highway in the world.
We are following much of Highway 1, though we are taking scenic detours along the way. For example, the relatively new Indian Ocean Drive from Perth to Geraldton is a terrific scenic route along the coast and allows easy access to the amazing Pinnacles and coastal fishing towns such as Lancelin, Jurien Bay and Dongara.
