  • The legal blood alcohol limit for driving is 0.05% in New South Wales.

  • Use headlights and be cautious when driving at night and in low-visibility conditions.

  • Wildlife, particularly kangaroos and wombats, are common at dawn, dusk, and night. Drive slowly during these hours.

  • Carry emergency supplies like a spare tyre, first aid kit, and contact information in your rental car.

  • All passengers, including children, should be properly secured with seatbelts and appropriate child restraints.
