Rental Arrangement Suitable To Your Holiday Experience
While visiting Queensland, it is important that you are aware of the rules, when you are traveling through the outback. Before you enter the road, you are required to contact the police and let them know where you are heading. Once you reach your destination, you are then required to make another phone call to the police and inform them of your arrival. This is an important procedure, so that if you are not at your destination and the approximate time of your arrival, they police will be able to easily find you. It is also important to know that although you can travel these roads with a car, the best choice of vehicle is a 4 WD.
Whichever means of transport you decide upon, it is very important that you are carefully prepared. Carry important spare parts is a good idea as trying to arrange a tow in these remote parts takes a long time and can be very expensive. Its also advisable to travel with a high frequency out-post radio transmitter that is equipped to pick up the Royal Flying Doctor Service bases. Mobile phones cannot be relied upon in such remote areas.
It is also important that you ensure you have, at least, 20 litres of water for each person you are traveling with. Another important item to bring along is food, this way if there was every a disaster you will have enough water and food to help you survive while you wait for help to arrive. You also want to make sure you are aware of the travel recommendations for the outback roads you will be traveling. It is recommended that you avoid the North trails during the rainy season, as it is know to become flooded and muddy. It is also recommended that you avoid the south west trails during the months of November to March, as they are dusty and can cause a malfunction to the electronics in your car.
To avoid making these mistakes and ensuring you are literally on the right track, it is useful to speak to the local police. They can advise you which tracks are open and if your car is suitable. It may be useful also to join the RACQ, (Royal Automobile Club of Queensland), as it offers emergency breakdown cover for $95 per year and a 24 hour telephone service. This will ensure prompt roadside assistance and they will organize a tow if the problem cant be fixed on site. The RACQ also provides lots of sets of regional maps of Queenslands and sells a wide range of travel and driving products. It provides advice on weather and road conditions.
While traveling, if you are faced with car trouble, it is important that you never leave your automobile. It is easier to spot an car then a person, while you are traveling in the outback. Also, never wandering into the wilderness, as many have been found dead, from thirst, way after their abandoned car was found.
