One of the best ways to see Australia is to rent a car and drive yourself. From this page you will find a state by state listing of car rental companies in Australia, including companies that rent campervans and four wheel drive vehicles.

Driving in Australia requires some planning, particularly if you are traveling long distances. Australia is a very large country, almost as large as the 48 contiguous U.S. States. For example, the drive from Adelaide to Sydney is almost 1,000 miles (1,600 km) long. Aussies also drive on the opposite side of the road to Americans. Learn more....

Gas/Petrol prices may also be a shock to you if you are driving in Australia and you are from the United States. This should not be a problem if you are from most areas in Europe. It is important to keep these prices in context and you will need to take the current currency exchange rates into account.
