Oceania offers some of the most photographed drives anywhere, with roads that hug coastlines and cut through striking mountain scenery in equal measure.
Australia's Great Ocean Road remains one of the country's signature drives, tracing the southern coastline past cliffs, beaches and the famous rock formations along the way. New Zealand's South Island turns almost any route into a scenic one, with mountains, lakes and coastline often visible within the same short stretch of road. Milford Road in particular draws travelers specifically for its drive, cutting through Fiordland's peaks toward one of the country's most photographed sounds. Weather can change quickly in mountain areas, so checking conditions before setting out is always worth doing.
The destinations on our list for Oceania reflect that same range, from coastal classics to striking mountain routes.
