Hi everyone,

We’re planning to drive from Melbourne to Darwin with our 3-year-old child and wanted to hear from people who have done a similar trip.

Is it a good idea, or would you recommend flying instead? We’re planning to take our time over several days rather than rushing.

I’d love to know: • How many days did you take? • Which route did you choose? • Any good places to stop overnight with a young child? • How were the road conditions? • Anything we should be aware of, especially when travelling with a toddler?

We’re mainly doing it for the experience and to have our car with us in Darwin, but we’re open to any advice or tips.

Thanks in advance!
