Whether you are new to the country or a local, you will notice the popularity if the famous ‘ute’, aka utility car in Australia. These vehicles are fantastic for outback trips where dirt roads and mountain trails are the norm. If you are planning on sticking to highways and tarred networks of road then you will be able to navigate Emerald and the surrounds with anything from an economy car to a larger sedan or even passenger van, depending on your itinerary.

You may notice that not all towns in Australia are created equally when taking speed limits into consideration. It is important that you pay attention to signage first as they can change depending on terrain and weather conditions of the area. As a default you will find that built up areas tend to allow for 37mph (60km), main or rural roads allow for between 37 and 56mph (60 and 90km) and the highways and motorways range between 68 and 75mph (110 and 120km).

Emerald parking is quite simple in the sense that the town doesn’t have that many municipality or privately-owned parking lots. You will find free and paid parking on the streets and parking at most of the places you will visit, but with wide streets at your disposal and a safe community, you will enjoy relaxed parking rules.
