Road video and map – Byron Bay to Sydney Airport, NSW<\/a><\/p>\n

My last full day in Australia was spent driving. I wanted to avoid the afternoon rush hour in Sydney as I headed to my airport hotel so I made an early start on the 722 km\/480 mi drive and did not make any tourist stops. I fly home tomorrow morning and, due to the magic of the International Date Line, I should arrive in San Francisco three hours before I leave Sydney.<\/p>\n

I really wish that I had had another three or four days here so that there were fewer long drives at the end but I came on a mileage ticket and had to take the dates available. I can certainly see why most people fly around the country but I really enjoyed (almost all) the driving and saw all the major sights I have wanted to visit as well as many others I never knew about previously. With only one disappointment and fabulous weather all the way it was a very enjoyable trip that really lived up to expectations.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all who read and\/or commented. I have yet to decide where my next road trip will be.<\/p>\n

Just to finish up I thought I would include a few statistics – mainly for my own interest when I read it later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
