What side of the road do you drive on in Bathurst?
In Bathurst, you'll need to drive on the left. This in itself can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. For a safe journey, take things slower and leave yourself extra time to get to your next stop.
