How to take Australia’s Rudest Road Trip

Some of the most outrageous place names on this rudest road trip ever include Minge Way in South Australia and Lake Fanny and Pisspot Creek in Tasmania. The list compiled by holiday car rental provider,  StressFreeCarRental.com, shows you where you will find the most memorable signs for a selfie if you dare, with locations in Tasmania, New South Wales and Queensland.

“Those looking for the weirdest road trip should look no further,” said a spokesperson for StressFreeCarRental. “We have created the rudest road trip in Australia, which is bound to be the wackiest drive you’ll ever take, spanning over 13,000 KM.

“From Minge Way in the South to Asses Ears Wilderness Lodge in Victoria, Australia delivers on providing outrageous locations to give the traditional road trip an edge. Australia is home to some of the rudest place names in the world, and since Aussies are known for their quick and playful humour, this trip is world-class. Stick on your cheesy playlist and visit these spots and snap some selfies by the rude signposts for the ultimate social media post.”

At a minimum, this route will take 159 hours or six and a half non-sleep days, calculated using the distance to each location if driving non-stop which isn’t possible because there’s water in the way! With cheeky places dotted all over Australia, the rude road trip takes drivers across beautiful coastlines, through the outback and into cities to catch a glimpse of Australia’s most strangely named spots. So don’t rush! Do it slowly and stop at plenty of places just because you can!

Here is the route!

Australia's Rudest Road Trip

Australia’s Rudest Road Trip ​Starts in Tasmania

You can fly in and pick up a hire car in Hobart and Launceston. This route starts at Tinkle Creek, Tasmania, which is on the far north coastline and travels around the island, touching on so many of the wonderous sights it offers.  Be prepared to go off the route to find fabulous views and curious towns. Tasmania has more than a few outrageous names, with Tinkle Creek, Lake Fanny and Bust Me Gall Creek causing many a raised eyebrow as road trippers travel around on Australia’s rudest road trip.

Tasmania is known for its fabulous seafood, particularly crayfish, and here are some top spots to stop and enjoy this delicacy.  Where will you sleep?  I’ve got a list of unique new places to stay in Tasmania that you can check out.  When you are in Hobart, don’t miss MONA and the view from Mount Wellington.

Fun fact – Tasmania has the most rude names on the route, with six top spots!

Next stop Victoria and New South Wales

Pick up your hire car in Melbourne and continue Australia’s rudest road trip.  Start by travelling across Victoria into New South Wales as you tick off these wacky locations. The route will take you through the Victorian highlands, past Canberra and then right up the picturesque coastline of New South Wales.  There are so many places you’ll want to stop and explore, so just do it!

Northern New South Wales is one of my favourite spots to explore.  You’ll get plenty of ideas from this road trip around the region.

Keep going to the Sunshine State – Queensland!

Just a hop over the border, and you are in Queensland!  From here, it gets warmer, particularly as you head outback. Residents in Queensland have become familiar with tourists jumping at the opportunity to get a photo with the rude road signs dotted all over the state, including Muff Creek, Bald Knob and Punch Knob.  Make sure you stop at some of the interesting places along Australia’s rudest road trip.

Travel the Top End to Western Australia

You’ll need to be well-equipped and adventurous to travel through the top end of the Northern Territory to reach the next destination on the far side of the continent.  It’s a big journey and not for the faint-hearted.  Western Australia’s coastline will beg you to stop and relax for a while before taking the next step of crossing the Nullabor Plain to South Australia.

Finish in South Australia

By the time you get to the end of this mammoth journey in Adelaide, you’ll have earned a rest. Australia might be one of the best places in the world for a rude road trip, but it’s also a fabulous place to road trip on many routes.  All you need is a map, a car and a sense of adventure.  Just do it!

FUN FACT: According to a survey with dubious origins quoted by Stress Free Car Rental, the average Australian drops an expletive around seven times per day, and 29 per cent of South Australians swear more than 16 times daily. This may or may not be true!
