Driving Perth to Brisbane is a proper continent-crossing epic: roughly 4,300–4,500 km and about 45–50 hours behind the wheel, before coffee stops and kangaroo-dodging.
The classic run takes the Eyre Highway across the Nullarbor to Port Augusta, then inland via Broken Hill–Cobar–Moree–Goondiwindi into Brisbane; the coastal detour is longer but prettier and busier.
Budget 5–7 days sensibly, with fuel every few hundred kilometres but pricier in the remote bits; at 8–10 L/100 km you’re looking at roughly $700–$1,000 in petrol at current prices.
Start early, avoid night driving, carry water/tyre kit, and mind quarantine checkpoints between WA/SA; it’s big-sky magic if you plan like an adult and not a sugar-rushed backpacker.
