TRAVELDRIVEN HOME PAGE
Traveldriven Home Page and Travel Experiences
Welcome to the Home Page. The landing page of the Traveldriven website. All are welcome to browse page posts and leave a comment.
There are more than two hundred and fifty individual page posts. If one were to browse from first to last post and spend two minutes on each post this would take well over eight hours to read, glance at photo's and see a small snippet of the many video's.
Why Browse Traveldriven?
Needless to say, we all only want to know about and see what we are interested in. In the quickest and easiest way.
Preferably, with an honest first hand insight and experience to the topic at hand.
This is what Traveldriven is about. To share the driving experience and destination. The good and not so good. Others may also want to get out there and see for themselves. Browse page posts for travel idea's.
Definitely not for Traveldriven to showcase travel achievements with selfie photo's. This is a much different website in form and function to the vast majority out there on the internet for this reason. Browse a few page posts for examples.
All site likes, comment's and site memberships are a bonus.
The purpose is to show with pictures and video to those who don't know, or have little knowledge of how large and diverse Australia the land and people are, a glimpse of the vast country of Australia.
Travel Vehicles
We have all seen the fancy travel rigs. A hundred thousand dollars or much more for the vehicle and towed travel van. All well and good for those with the budget.
Traveldriven has used swags, small tents, basic vans, motels and bush hotels. Some of the most commonly seen vehicles sold in Australia have been driven on travel trips.
These range from family sedans (Ford Falcon), sports cars (Mustang GT) to SUV's. Most Traveldriven trips are without a towed vehicle.
See What Is Out There
It's not about what means of travel you have or budget but getting out there and doing. Weather being solo, with family or friends. All Traveldriven posts are about places where ordinary travellers may like to go. Without needing to own an expensive specialised vehicle. The everyday driving experience. With a little basic knowledge and common sense. Drive to extraordinary locations. Enjoy, relax and to seek out new places of interest. Having said that, depending on the time place and local events, things happen. Read the following to quickly go to a page post of interest.
A few posts are of places not within Australia. It's great to gain a perspective on life outside of country of birth. If only to compare and appreciate your corner of it.

TAKE AN OUTBACK BREAK
BIRDSVILLE, QUEENSLAND
Australia and Bushfire Survival
Every State in Australia is of risk of major bushfire breakouts. It is good to know the basic do's and don'ts in these fire prone environments. Not only overseas visitors but residents of Australian cities travelling to country area's should know how to pay heed to the dangers.
A Traveldriven first hand example is given in the following post:
Timber Creek, Northern Territory
Beware of potential wildlife and people problems. All the while not leaving the National Australia Highway network of good roads and communication. However still remote and three or four hours of driving from the nearest police or hospital services. Timber Creek is a small outback settlement 185 km from the Western Australian border. Read how situations may develop from doing nothing wrong.
