Highway One - Australia's "Mother Road"

Australia's Highway One is a part of the life experience for most of us. It's our great coastal highway, tracing out our coastline. Very many of us travel on some part of it every day. Pacific Highway, Princes Highway, Bruce Highway, A1, M1; it goes by these and many other names. It reaches into and through and links every State. At over 14,500 kilometres in length it is truly one of the world's great highways. And yet... like so many of the constants in our lives, we don't give it a conscious thought.

Like pearls on a necklace, the length of Highway One is studded with pretty and uniquely Australian small towns, but huge sections of the old road have been bypassed and forgotten over the decades. The unique Highway One Travel Companion is the EASY way to find and explore Old Highway One, its towns and attractions. This IS the road less travelled.
