Australia is one of the best countries for road trips. Those who have already experienced it know very well that having a breakdown comes with the fun of a road trip (we have experienced it ourselves when crossing the Nullarbor). Here in Australia, distances are sometimes so huge between the location of the breakdwon and the nearest garage, that towing can cost more than abandoning your vehicle along the road and buy a used one in the next city. Then, one can find curious trophies (photo) in the scenery along the highways. We even met some people whose job is to drive for hours to rid the landscape of the old rusting cars!
Awesome photo that shows off the harsh Australian conditions. Important to get yourself RAA plus cover if based in SA. That way the large towing costs are paid by the insurance company.
@Lucas True! We're actually preparing a post covering this topic ;)
