Rural area and joining reserves

Hi, I’m currently in the process of getting ready to apply to join the reserves. My main concern is from what I’ve read online about parade.
I live in a small rural town approximately 4 and a bit hours from a major city (Toowoomba QLD).
Would I have to travel there once a week? It’s approximately 10 hours of travel for a round trip (fuel stops, ect).
It is doable, but I just don’t like the idea of the cost, the wear on my vehicle, plus fatigued driving in a remote area with large kangaroos and potentially loose cattle and horses.

Sorry if this seems like a silly question, but I’d love to know other people experiences from rural areas.

Thank you 😊
