Stop Spending Hundreds of Hours Planning
If you’re planning a Big Lap, you’ve probably asked yourself:
- Where (and WHEN) do we start?
- Which direction should we travel?
- How long should we allow?
- What are the must-see destinations?
- What can we skip?
- Are we trying to do too much?
- Will we miss something important?
- Do we need a 4×4?
The problem isn’t finding places to visit. It’s working out how it all fits together.
We’ve already done that work for you.

Why trust us?
When we left home, we thought we’d spend six months travelling Australia.
Instead, we spent three and a half years exploring every state and territory.
We’ve experienced the famous highlights and the hidden gems; we made mistakes, took detours and figured it out as we went along.
This itinerary combines everything we learned into one practical planning resource.

Still wondering if this Big Lap Itinerary is for you?
Here are some answers to your questions.
Can’t I just find all this information online?
Absolutely. The information is out there, but finding it, organising it, and turning it into a practical travel plan takes a huge amount of time. Heck, it took us WEEKS to put this itinerary together, and we’ve already done it!
We’ve spent 3.5 years travelling Australia full-time and hundreds of hours researching destinations, routes, attractions and travel logistics. This itinerary brings that experience together into one practical guide so you don’t have to start from scratch.
How is this different from information in Facebook groups?
Facebook groups are fantastic for asking specific questions. The problem is that if you ask 100 travellers how to do a Big Lap, you’ll get 100 different answers.
This itinerary gives you a proven starting point based on real-world experience, while still allowing you to adapt the trip to suit your own interests and travel style.
What if I don’t have 12 months available?
No problem. The itinerary is designed as a complete 12-month lap, but many travellers use it as a planning tool for shorter trips, or “half laps”.
You can simply focus on the regions that interest you most and adapt the route to fit your available time.
Do I need a 4×4 to follow this itinerary?
No! We’ve written this itinerary so you can do it in any vehicle. AND we’ve included optional 4×4 routes and detours too.
What if I want to travel slower?
We get it, we love slow travelling too.
The itinerary provides a structure, not a schedule. You can stay longer in the places you love and skip places that you don’t. Use it as a guide rather than a set of rules.
What about weather and seasonal conditions?
This itinerary has been designed with Australia’s seasons in mind. The basic rule is north in winter and south in summer. But of course, the weather varies from year to year and conditions can change.
Use this itinerary as a guide, but always check current weather forecasts, road conditions, fire warnings and local advice before travelling. We got stuck in Coober Pedy because of floods for 9 days, it ended up being one of our favourite weeks of our entire lap!
One of the reasons we’ve structured the itinerary by weeks rather than days is to give you the flexibility to adapt when conditions change.
Is this itinerary suitable for first-time travellers?
Absolutely. In fact, that’s who will probably benefit the most.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information online and struggling to work out how it all fits together, this itinerary provides a proven starting point that can save you months of planning.
What about if you’ve already started planning. Is this still useful?
Yes. Many travellers will buy the itinerary after they’ve already begun planning because they want to compare their route against a proven Big Lap itinerary and make sure they’re not missing anything important.
Even if you’ve already done some research, the itinerary can save you time and help refine your plans.
