Under the constantly changing travel restrictions imposed on Western Australia, consider having a road trip locally to explore our beautiful state.
Here are a few tips before your next roadtrip:
Check border information
Make sure your destination and journey complies with public health advice. This advice is frequently updated on www.wa.gov.au.
Visitor centres & accommodation
Get the information from local experts and often a place for maps and great food suggestions.
Check road & weather conditions
Get the information from local experts and often a place for maps and great food suggestions.
Consider location & equipment
When travelling remotely consider having two first aid kits: One for your car/campsite and one for personal carry.
Travelers with pre-existing medical conditions should carry enough medication for the duration of their trip and an extra supply in case of unexpected incidents
When going for a road trip, considering how long response times for emergency services is usually the last thing on our mind after activities and snacks. However, ensuring that you have the knowledge and equipment to be able to sufficiently handle a situation may be the crucial difference between life and death.
Every vehicle should be equipped as a minimum, with a kit to provide basic first aid and should consider the types of activities that may be affected by weather conditions, difficulty in access, poor maintenance or remoteness from medical assistance.
Here are a few kits that we recommend based on the activity and distance from medical assistance.
