How to recognise Australia from the road
Drives on the left
Red earth, eucalyptus and wide empty roads. Australia is huge, but the bush has a look all of its own.
What to look for

Australia drives on the left.

Animal warning signs

Eucalyptus
Gum trees with pale, peeling bark and grey-green leaves line roads across the country.

Red soil and tin roofs
In the interior, the soil is often bright red, and houses have corrugated metal roofs.
