I was in a coffee shop in Freemantle Western Australia during the 1986 Americas Cup yacht race and met 2 Americans who decided because the racing was a rest and repair day they were going to hire a car and drive to Sydney for lunch and see the harbour bridge ! They would not believe me that driving to Sydney from Perth was 48 hours non stop, each way! I dont know how they got on, we parted ways with a handshake and a good luck from me!😅 I have no doubt that when hiring a car they were met with uncontrollable laughter! 😂🤣

In that same 15 year period i had done Brisbane to Townsville & return roughly 130 odd times and Brisbane to Melbourne return probably about 200 times. I reckon I've clocked up about 3 million kilometres around Oz. The reason most towns in Australia are all about 100 kilometres from each other is because in the days of the horse and cart 100 klicks is a days travel on flat open terrain.

Me my family did a trip to Birdsville from Central QLD in a Mazda BT50 which took nearly a week (we only drove a few hours a day), but when we got to Stonehenge which is still 6 hours from Birdsville, there were a bunch of blokes in Land Cruiser there that started driving from Yeppoon (Coast of Central QLD) at 3 in the morning that day and got to Stonehenge at 3 in the arvo. Meanwhile we had only drove a few hours from Isisford that day.

The 200 series land cruisers, the greatest vehicle ever built. I know I’m late to this party but for those who know now. For those that don’t know it was the 2008 to 2021 V8 that can go 500,000 miles. It’s designed the last for 25 years in the third world country. Yes it’s $100,000 car but it’s the best SUV ever made.

WA, Perth has a population of 2.3 million. Western Australia has a population of 2.9 million. So basically 600,000 people in the state outside of the capital city. Population density in North Western Australia is 0.03 per km2 or one person for every 33 square kilometres…

I live by the upper great lakes and it's a damn big forest with not much around. Winters are brutal, if ur truck breaks down in 30 below zero ur fucked. I'm a firm believer in Toyota reliability. My Tundra is solid as a rock. Toyota forever.

[@loosegoose9647]

idk wtf Jamie was doing on those drives, but it definitely doesn't take 33 hours to get from Columbus OH to Amaraillo Tx. It's only 1,174 miles. For reference, from where I live in Australia to Perth is 1,687 miles, with absolutely nothing in between except sand, kangaroos and camels.

Half an hour to my local store for milk on a dirt pothole ridden road. Further for work and school. Dirt dirt dirt. 2 hours to a shopping centre. I just drove 8 hours straight to care for me elderly mother. 16 hour round trip every 6 weeks. My son spends 1.5 hours on a bus, in the bush to get to school.

[@derbybOyzZ]

We talk about building a high speed rail to connect Australia. What if we just made a 4 lane road with barriers to protect from animals getting on and had no speed limit? It would make a big difference in travel time being able to do 200 instead of 110 if you're going from Perth to Adelaide and what not. It would also be a lot cheaper than making a high speed rail line.

[@sdm6054]

No, no it wouldn't be cheaper. Those roads are expensive to build and expensive to maintain. Germany spends a lot of time and money maintaining the autobahn. Both would be crazy expensive to build and keep running, there are no cheap options for Australia.

[@StuTheDon17]

The animals need to be able to cross roads. The consequences of reducing or increasing the number of animals in certain areas can have catastrophic effects to the landscape.

[@Shamusving]

Travelling around Europe and telling people how big Australia is, some get it, most don't. Some of them try to compare it to driving from Edinburgh to London... I just smile because no amount of explanation will get them to understand it until they do it themselves.
