What side of the road do you drive in australia | Driving on the left side of the road in Australia
Which side of the road do Australia drive on?
Australians drive on the left side of the road and vehicles have the steering wheel on their right side
Most countries which were British colonies still drive on the left hand side of the road including huge land masses such as India, Australia and Southern Africa as well as the Caribbean. Europe generally drives on the right hand side apart from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus.
Accidents happen when you fall asleep at the wheel, or just not concentrating on the road and any possible oncoming traffic or wildlife.
Australians drive on the left side of the road and vehicles have the steering wheel on their right side. (reverse to the USA)
Drivers in Australia require a valid driver's licence. You can drive with a foreign (English language) licence for three months. If your licence is not in English, you need to get an International Driving Permit from the Automobile Association in your home country before coming to Australia. If your hiring a 4wd camper or renting a motoprhome then you should chek the drivers licence requirement.
Why do Australians drive on the other side of the road?
In the past, almost everybody travelled on the left side of the road because that was the most sensible option for feudal, violent societies. Since most people are right-handed, swordsmen preferred to keep to the left in order to have their right arm nearer to an opponent and their scabbard further from him.

These road monsters are renowned to make your hair stand on end as they pass you. This was on the Stuart Highway and Daivid and Carmela our close friends were smart enough to pull over for it to go by
Australia 4 Wheel Drive RentalsOur senses of sight and sound are flooded every day by film and TV. Though if you take a real holiday especially along the coast or the great Australian outback then your other senses of smell and touch will come alive as well. Let a Darwin sunset on Mindil Beach warm up your senses to smelling the pristine outback wilderness of the remote outback Kimberley. When you travel in Australia folks don't just gaze but look and you will see amazing Australian flora and fauna. If you're a family, couple or friends you will create memories most likely from the small things that you experience on the trip such as a butterfly sitting on your cup of tea whilst you're at a roadside stop on the Banks of the Ord River.
We see and hear every day travel is a experience actually it's an achievement - like to catch sunset at very minute the sun touch the oceans horizon from the viewing points along the Great Ocean Road.
Plan your holiday so you travel like never before and interact with fellow like minded adventure travellers, the locals and their cultures.
Catch a fish then both of you take a selfie and give your finned friend a new lease on life and throw it back.
Taste real fusion Aussie/Asian cuisine or just great fish and chips the Aussie way.
If Marg and Rob have to have a motto then it would be 'plan well, travel at your own leisure and enjoy the little things Australia has to offer you'.
