Large sections of Highway 1 are shared with the Australian National Highway, though the two are not synonymous.Highway One covers almost most of the inhabited parts of Australia, it has the ability to take you to the busy districts, resorts, aggressive and calm seas, forests, deserts, valleys and other landscapes that make up Australia. Those embarking on a large travel in Australia often chose to take the route of Highway 1.

Most of its length is a major road of Australia's busy district, it ranges from an eight-lane super highway to a two-lane country road. Plenty of national parks and attractions can be enjoyed along this way. Although this is a major highway, its road can vary. One 635 km section between Normanton in North Queensland and Borroloola in the Northern Territory is unsealed, most restricted to four wheel drive vehicles and open only on dry season. Some stretches are very isolated, such as the Eyre Highway, which crosses the Nullarbor Plain, and the Great Northern Highway, which runs close to the north-western coastline. Isolated Roadhouses serving the small amount of passing traffic are often the only signs of human activity for hundreds of kilometres. But whatever season that is, Highway One offers opportunities for exploration and adventure. Thus making your campervan hire in Australia one of the unforgettable experiences. Highway One is well signposted but if you are keeping a drive along the busy centers, its better that you maintain your campervan in the center lane and flow with the traffic.
