Travellers have been warned (Image: Getty) The Foreign Office has issued a warning to UK travellers to plan thoroughly before departure due to several transport risks. On the Australia travel advice page, under the safety and security section, gov.uk officials advise those travelling abroad to be mindful that Australia is known for having "larger distances between towns and amenities".

Because of this, they recommend ensuring an adequate water supply before travelling and informing someone of your travel plans. When driving across various regions, it's important to note that driving laws and regulations vary across each state and territory.

Failure to comply can result in severe penalties. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
