We’re delighted to officially confirm once and for all that the Great Ocean Road is Australia’s Ultimate 2022 road trip – crowning this with a Dash Cam Treasure Hunt along the newly crowned route, very fitting!”

Urging Australians to get out and experience the next ultimate Australian road trip, Richard Browning said: “It is a great time to hit the road in Australia and see your own backyard. There are many brilliant road trips to enjoy around Australia. Having a Dash Cam is a great way to record your adventure on the road. Not only will you record what you see on the road, but a Nextbase Dash Cam will add a layer of protection through our world-first emergency SOS feature which alerts authorities to your location if you have a serious accident,”
