We drive from Gold Coast to Airlie Beach and then back to Brisbane during our stay. Car was fine and didn’t let us down at all, I would recommend a bigger car as most people drive bigger cars in Australia. The islands are where we recommend most, Fraser Island and Whitsundays are a must.

Used Google maps to travel to Byron Bay & the Gold Coast which was really easy
Driving on the same side as the UK was a plus
Both Byron Bay & Burleigh Heads on the gold coast are well worth spending a few days
Beautiful beaches, wonderful restaurants & very helpful, nice people
