Australia has a little-known place in the world, that is, route 1 (Hightway 1) around the Australian mainland, about 14500 kilometers in length, is the longest national road in the world, with the honorable name of "emerald necklace". It takes more than 20 days to drive around Highway 1.
From the map above, you can see all the major coastal cities in Australia, including Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Keynes, Darwin, etc.
In fact, the so-called "Highway one" is only a collective name. This highway was officially named in 1955, connecting and compiling local roads originally belonging to the states, so Highway one has different names in different sections. For example, the section from Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, to Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, is called the Pacific Highway (Pacific Highway) and the Pacific Expressway (Pacific Motorway), and the road conditions vary greatly from sector to section. With a speed limit of 110 km, two-way four-lane roads are fully closed, but in remote areas there are more two-lane roads.
On the densely populated east coast, Highway one basically won't be long before it gets into town, and supplies are not a problem along the way; In remote, sparsely populated areas, it is possible to drive hundreds of kilometers to the next town, such as the famous (Eyre Highway), the longest straight road in the world, near (Nullarbor Plain) in the Narabel Plain. It may take hundreds of kilometers to have sporadic roadside service stations that show signs of human activity.
For self-driving tourists, there are countless beautiful views along Highway 1. First of all, all the major cities in Australia are run through by Highway 1, and in addition to the city, many important attractions are also around Highway 1. From (Kakadu National Park), Honolulu National Park (Purnululu National Park), the original mysterious Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory, to (Nullarbor Plain);, which stretches beyond the stretch of South and Western Australia on the Nalabel Plains. From Western Australia's mysterious World Heritage Shark Bay (Shark Bay), Ningero Coast (Ningaloo Coast), to the vibrant Queensland rainforest, these stunning views will fill the memory of every visitor who walked through it.
