Happy Motoring

With the summer holidays upon us, I fortuitously came across some information that might be useful to members for the next time they are planning a long road trip.

First off is the RACQ’s website (www.racq.com.au). Under the Travel tab, click on …more on the Travel Route Planner item. In here you can specify your starting location and your destination. Under the Adv Route area, you can specify vias, and you can also specify if you want to go via the shortest route or the quickest route. On Go, the site gives you a map of the route, and a detailed route chart (about the only thing it doesn’t include is the instruction to “reverse out of driveway”!)

Having planned your route, you are going to need to plan your pit stops. For this purpose is the website managed by the Federal Department of Health and Ageing; www.toiletmap.gov.au . As with the RACQ travel planner, enter your start location and destination and hit Submit; every public toilet known to mankind.

Happy motoring.
