Your unofficial guide to epic drives, good vibes, and even better oat milk coffee.
There’s nothing more Australian than hitting the road with your mates, good tunes, and an esky packed with cold cans. At Don’t Dairy, we built our oat milk iced coffees for exactly that moment — when you’re halfway to nowhere, the sun’s blasting through the windscreen, and you need something cold, creamy, and caffeinated to keep the trip rolling.
So whether you’re planning a long-weekend escape or a cross-country mission, here are the best road trips in Australia to crack open a Don’t Dairy (stored at room temp… chill when ready).
Why take Don’t Dairy:
- Won’t spoil in the heat
- 12-month shelf life
- Room-temp friendly (ideal for tropical climates)
- Dairy-free
- 120mg of caffeine
1. The Great Ocean Road, VIC
If you haven’t done this one, are you even Aussie?
Winding cliffs, ocean spray, and the 12 Apostles — it’s the perfect place to sip a Latte while pretending your Spotify playlist is a movie soundtrack.
2. Exmouth to Broome, WA
The road that unknowingly sparked the idea for Don’t Dairy.
Hours of coastline, red dirt, turquoise water, and roadhouses with very limited drink options — which planted the seed for a better kind of coffee-on-the-go.
3. The Nullarbor Plain, SA → WA
Long. Straight. Iconic.
If you love big skies, empty horizons, and arguing over who gets the next driving shift, this one’s addictive.
4. Cairns to Cape Tribulation, QLD
A tropical masterpiece.
Rainforest meeting the ocean, croc warning signs, and sticky humidity where an ice-cold can tastes like the meaning of life.
5. The Tasman Highway, TAS
Lush forests, winding coastline, and sleepy towns with elite bakeries.
It’s the kind of trip where you keep a few cans in the glovebox and stop wherever looks cute.
6. Sydney to Byron Bay, NSW
The classic east coast hop.
Stop at Seal Rocks, Crescent Head, Yamba, and every beach your mate points at. You’ll be cracking cans on the sand more than in the car — which is exactly how it should be.
7. The Red Centre Way, NT
From Alice Springs through Uluru, Kings Canyon, and the West Macs.
Red dirt, starry nights, and the kind of heat that makes a cold can taste like a miracle.
