This allowed quick entry to the Albany Highway going south. Study them the night before your drive, and familiarise your passengers, so that all know the route and can help look out for landmarks and road signs. Do not shy away from motels for accommodation out of town, as they have facilities similar to hotels. Their biggest advantage is that you can reverse-park right in front of your room, making it easy to transfer luggage in and out. Towns usually have tourist bureaus, where you can select accommodation.
Some towns also have tourist radio stations, which broadcast information.
Road signs tell you when you are within range and the frequency to tune to. Alongside the green road signs there are also brown ones which mark tourist routes. These drives can take you away from the main road but the detours are often well worth it for the scenery they bring. Do not be fooled if you drive into the centre of town and find it as deserted as Shenton Way. Just as in Singapore, much of the community nightlife happens outside the business district.
