The Big Lap Bible: Expanded Edition 2026 is a comprehensive guide, planner and travel companion designed for anyone preparing to explore Australia by road. Whether you’re tackling the complete Big Lap or travelling through individual regions, it brings together practical advice, destination inspiration and trip-planning tools in one easy-to-use guide.
Created with input from experienced travellers, local experts and tourism organisations, the Big Lap Bible is packed with useful knowledge and local insights to help you get more out of your Australian adventure. Rather than focusing heavily on information that quickly becomes outdated, the guide prioritises practical travel advice and destination knowledge that remains useful throughout your journey.
The Big Lap Prep section covers the essentials of getting ready for an extended road trip, including your setup, route and general preparation. Bucket lists add some fun to the journey, helping you tick off iconic beaches, foodie experiences, outback adventures, famous "Big Things" and other memorable Australian experiences.
At the heart of the book are 54 detailed Region Guides, providing inspiration and information on what to see and experience throughout different parts of Australia. Quick Reference Guides also keep useful information close at hand while you’re travelling, including important numbers, dates and fishing rules and regulations.
Planning, tracking and memory pages allow the book to become part of your journey, giving you space to organise your trip and record memorable moments along the way.
