So you’re planning a Big Lap? You’re ready to pack up and hit the open road for the greatest Aussie adventure known to man! Well, before you get that far, you might want to think about where you’ll want to go and when. This guide seeks to help you plan an absolutely epic Big Lap by breaking down a full 12 months of where to go, where to stay, what to do and when to go.

Obviously, there is no one-size-fits all trip plan – and actually, having a rigid day by day plan is a. extremely time-consuming to create and b. takes the fun out of actually doing the trip and having the spontaneity that comes with it. This itinerary is a guide to give you a brief outline of a potential route which has been created with climate, events and likely scenarios in mind.

When To Set Off

Firstly, we want to talk about when to set off. Although you can set off at any time of the year, this guide is designed so wherever you are in the country, you can jump onto the lap at the stated time of the year. The months have been meticulously planned so you can get the most out of your lap, see as much as possible and experience everything the country has to offer.

Ready, let’s go!
