Australia was made for road trips – and Australian Traveller's new campaign showcases just how epic they can be.

From coastal drives to red dirt tracks, winding wine routes to flower-strewn highways, Australian Traveller celebrates the rich diversity of the Australian road trip. 

“With hundreds and thousands of roads to explore across the country, it's little wonder that road tripping is deeply ingrained in the national psyche: we have perfected the art of the driving holiday,” says the magazine's print editor, Imogen Eveson. 

“In this epic campaign, we take to the highways and backroads to showcase Australia from coast to country to outback – and invite readers to do the same as we look forward to spring and shake off our winter hibernation.”

Available in print and online now, Epic Road Trips traverses every state and territory. The campaign includes:
