School-Age Kids
The biggest challenge is a sudden attack of the 'are-we-there-yets?'. Adults - let alone kids
- find the long drives tedious. Bring along books, computer games, iPads and child-
friendly CDs. Consider hiring a car with a backseat screen for playing DVDs.
Snacks are essential for journeys where shops might be 200km or further apart, and toilet
paper is also a blessing.
Have a word to the kids about insects, snakes and spiders, stressing the need for them to
keep their distance, particularly for kids who like to prod things with sticks. While bush-
walking, make sure they wear socks with shoes or boots.
