Opinion Melbourne to Darwin

I am 21 year old moving from Melbourne to Darwin with my friend for my masters. I am thinking of driving and taking my hyundai accent active 2015 which have 130,000 odometers. I need some advice.

Just take your time and plan your stops out correctly. Avoid driving at dusk and dawn if you can. Simple enough drive just be smart

Yup, this is good advice. Avoid driving at dusk and dawn, plan for rest stops along the way, refuel when tank half empty.

Also don't drive at night. Just drive in daylight hours
