When I lived on Oz, I had to convince so many tourists to not take a wicked van from Sydney to Melbourne. One asked me if he can drive to Perth, lol.
Perth?! Pure madness.
Ikr? Nothing like a leisurely 45h drive.
Yeah, why would anyone willingly go to Perth?
Never realised Tarantino basically copied that shot. Awesome
American here: I don’t get it. Is the traffic really bad? The weather? Why is a 13 hour drive so bad?
Because you’re only half way thete
Drove from a few hours north of Melbourne to Brisbane a few years ago. 20 hours straight. You’re not wrong.
If you want to stop along the way, sure. If you are just doing it direct, you’re insane.
Canadian here. That’s pretty par for the course in western Canada. Edmonton to Vancouver (the capitol victoria is a further 1hr drive with 1.5 hr ferry) is a 12hr drive. 2 fuel pitstops for humans and the car. Easily doable.
Yeah, I don’t know why OP made this about NA you lot have similar distances up there.
Well, like, that’s a bit far for a single day drive, but not out of bounds. Particularly if you have two drivers and can switch, it seems pretty normal?
Fair enough but after renting a car and paying for fuel you might as well just fly and then you don’t lose a whole day.
Because you can drive in 2 hours through some countries and a mountain range.
Driving capital city to capital city, Sydney to Canberra or melb to Canberra are the only semi reasonable distances. Everywhere else it’s a full day driving minimum even to an adjacent state. Ymmv tho.
Lol, y’all think Americans don’t know about road trips? My family drove from Florida to Canada in a day. And it sucked.
Granted, it wasn’t the heat blasted hellscape that most of Australia is. But it still sucked
You realize America is pretty large, right? And that we may visit people who don’t live in our towns? My mother lives in the same state as me and we’re almost 300 miles apart.
It’s a joke.
Explain it to me. You also only need to comment once.
I may be an ignorant American, but I don’t need to be told twice.
Remains to be seen…
Typical seppo can’t take a joke. 🤣🤣🤣
I mean, if you pick two places in America that are close and two places in Oz that aren’t. New York City to Los Angeles is a 41 hour drive
American here: why the fuck are you visiting capital cities? They’re all boring.
drove from Philly to Boston with a stop in NYC and it honestly wasn’t that bad
with that being said I would never dream of driving from Brisbane to Canberra again. next time I want to see snow I am flying down — the return trip was the worst.
I know they’re totally different distances but even to Sydney is a stretch for me these days.
don’t even get me started with driving north of Brisbane…
OMG! Please stopmaking memes using Hollywood pics. One of my American cousin is here and he keeps calling Australia his Lil bitch coz we follow and try so hard to become American.
Stop being his litte bitch then. He’s saying it to get the reaction.
That or drown him in U’s.
