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!”
Nextbase ambassador and star Supercar driver David Reynolds said: “The Great Ocean Road is an amazing drive that all Australians should make sure they experience. The road is beautiful with breathtaking views, it’s no surprise it won the accolade this year. There are many great road trips to experience around Australia and amazing sights to be seen, you’ve just got to hit the road and find them. You’ll make great memories on your adventure and your Nextbase Dash Cam can help capture your travels and add a layer of safety to your trip.”

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,”
45 per cent of Australians believe that driving with a Dash Cam installed should be mandatory, with 1 in 4 Australian motorists currently using a Dash Cam. 26% of Aussie drivers have also admitted that they change their driving behaviour if they believe that they are being recorded behind the wheel, while 80% have experienced road rage whilst behind the wheel.
Nextbase Dash Cams are available from leading retailers including Repco, The Good Guys, Officeworks, Bing Lee, and Camera House.
