Thank u sir. Will book my hotels over the weekend. I read something on the australia nation park pass, do we need to buy beforehand?

i also noticed theres a special road way called the right hook turn at aussie. Other than this, is there anything i should take note. Also my first time driving as left handed driver nt sure if theres any difference.

It's not LHD, but driving on the left side, same as SG.

Right hook is only in Melbourne.

The national park pass, i'm not sure if you need it, you're only going to specific national park i'm assuming?

Yes from no bird. Some one recommended Aries but after reading reviews and comparisons, still go for no bird. I select corolla hybrid.

I rented Corolla hybrid from nobird before. It is a very fuel saving car.

Yes. Lie flat and definitely can put but Do note that Perth is not like Singapore. I won't not leave my luggage exposed while parking my car

As long as not like those shopping trips in France, Italy, luggage fill with luxury items.

Here are some WA's stat: https://www.solidgps.com/top-10-hig...WUKJS2EFw8mwPB8U1No5jEaYll2-IzrTAhUNw9i42zb0c

In 2023, Perth had 362 vehicles stolen, with Gosnells, Kununurra, Bayswater, Baldivis, and Thornlie being identified as car-theft hotspots.
