"How does it feel to bring home a gold medal for your country, again?" the interviewer asks and a big grin appears on your face.

"I mean, i love the sport and I've worked hard to get where I am. I think this year there were many other contestants who also deserved gold and everyone who took part today were amazing!" you keep smiling, it had been a really amazing set for you today. You'd even broke some records while here.

"And now what is your plan?" they ask holding the mic closer to you.

"Well my husband is waiting for me, just over there. So i think he wants to give me his congratulations" you say pointing out our stoic looking husband who was waiting in the background, keeping to himself watching the world go past.

"Ah yes, Kimi Raikkonen! The Ice Man, who arguably married Queen of the Ice" he jokes making you laugh a little. You had heard similar jokes many times since you'd married Kimi.

"Yes, obviously being here in South Korea for the Winter Olympics has been amazing, and I'll be sure to train hard for 2022 but now I'm needed to go support my lovely lovely husband in his fast cars" you exclaim, knowing that the Australian Grand Prix was round the corner.

"Ah yes, it's looking like a good season for Ferrari! And we can tell from your outfit today they already have your support"

"My support is for whatever team my husband is in, so Ferrari have had my support since Kimi has raced with them!"

You left the interview thanking your team before finding Kimi waiting for you quietly.

"Home?" you ask and he nods silently grabbing your hand and pulling you out of the arena.

"You were fantastic today!" he smiles, holding you and pulling you into a kiss.

"Yeah? You liked the new twist i did?" you ask, your routine today being one of the hardest you'd ever done. You mascara had infact started to run, from the sweat building on your forehead throughout the day.

"I like everything you do"

You guys both went back to the hotel, packing up all of your gear that had been here for the past month you'd stayed in Korea for. Once you were sure you hadn't left anything behind you made your way to the airport.

Kimi now only had a month until Australia, his personal trainer had come with you to Korea to help him train while he was out there supporting you.

Now, you'd train while you were travelling with Kimi. Finding ice while on the road with him was always difficult, but finding places to just work out and keep your fitness up was never hard as you'd train alongside Kimi. It was one of the ways to spend extra time with him during the season when he was most busy.

In the free month before Australia you started your research on where you could go in Melbourne to skate, you found somewhere that Kimi was happy with you going too as it wasn't too far from the hotel you'd be staying in or the race track for if anything went wrong.

"Will you watch me on the Sunday though?" he'd asked you as you were both lying in bed the night before you were due to fly to Australia.

"When have I ever not?" you ask, turning over in bed to look at him.

"Hmmm, I can for sure think of one time..." he smirks looking over you.

"If your talking about China, almost 10 years ago that doesn't even count!" you laugh, poking his cheek a little.

Your husband never failed to amaze you, his striking blue eyes and his soft blonde hair was what initially drew you in. But it was your first interaction with him that made you fall for him fully.

It was the Autumn of 2008 and you were 22 and you had just won your second Gold Medal in China, you'd stayed there for the months after the games as they left the Beijing Olympic Park open and it seemed like a good place to stay and to train.

You managed to get tickets to other sporting events in the months you stayed there such as Snow Boarding, Golf but the best one was when the Chinese Grand Prix came about.

You were active on the socials you had back then, and so it wasn't hard for Sauber BMW to reach out to you and give you a guest pass.

You'd been walking round the paddock, just investigating when you'd bumped right into the Finnish Ferrari driver. He had just stared at you while holding a tight grip on your wrist so you didn't fall over.

You remember him asking if you were okay, and some other questions that you hadn't heard fully as your brain had gone foggy at the sound of his soft, yet deep voice.

It was a little embarrassing, when he'd tried to speak Finnish to you, and then decided on English, but with no reply he was left stumped and awkwardly standing there.

He'd soon left after that but you were on each other's minds for the whole day. You tried to keep up conversations with the BMW drivers Robert and Nick but your mind kept drifting the the Finnish Driver for Ferrari.

He found you after the race, and just stared at you for a while before you made the first move speaking to him. And the rest was history.

You spent the next 5 years together as partners, it was convenient for someone like Kimi who raced all through the year apart from summer and winter to end up with someone in a sport who only competed for a month in the summer and winter. It meant that they also still got a break with each other.

After 5 years, Kimi let the big question unload and now you'd been married for 5 years.

"Of course, my love! You know that!" you smile, pulling him closer to you. You tuck yourself into his surprisingly warm embrace, considering his nickname was 'Iceman' he was the warmest person you'd ever had the privilege of meeting.

"I was thinking ..." he breathes, his voice a little higher and whiny than normal.

"Mmmmm, you don't do that often?" you tease, a hand running up and down his back.

"Well, I'm the ice man, your the Ice Queen... i was thinking maybe it's time we have an Ice Baby?" he whispers in the softest most unsure tone you'd ever heard.

"You think now's a good time?" you ask, and thinking about it... it was. You yourself had two years before the next Olympics in 2020, and Kimi was at a point in his career where he could leave and live comfortably if he needed and wanted to.

"I haven't told you this, but they want the Sauber kid in my spot. I'll be going to Alpha Romeo next year. I feel like I've done what i can and I've had my time in the sport... and we aren't getting any younger. Especially me..." he jokes, being 44 now.

"Mmmmmm I think now is the perfect time" you smile.

Flash forward to the Austin Grand Prix and you were 6 months pregnant. You'd already announced it and so many people were excited for you and Kimi, through the season he had loads of interviews. All against his will of course but people saw a different side to him when he talked about you and the soon to be baby.

It was a great race for Kimi in Austin, he pulled through with his first win of the season, valuable points that helped contribute towards his position in the drivers standings.

"So Kimi, first win of the season today! How are you feeling?" an interviewer asks, he was sat in a panel with some of the other drivers in a debrief.

"It was good to get a win, this season has been tough. We've had an interesting year with veteran drivers like myself, Seb, Fernando and Lewis being pushed by newer or younger drivers who are proving to be good competition like Charles, Max and Pierre" he answers.

"There have been rumors that you wont be here with us next season?" he pushes and Kimi roles his eyes.

"If I'm not it's not an issue... racing is my hobby that i get paid to do. I'll leave when i want to" he admits without letting anything slip that Ferrari wouldn't want to come public knowledge.

"Lets move on to you Lewis..."

And for the rest of the interview all he could think of was coming back to you.

Once your daughter was born in January before the start of the 2019 season and Kimi moving to Alfa Romeo everyone on the grid wanted to meet her. So of course, you were obligated to come to Australia for pre-season testing. Your 3 month old being so intrigued at the busy rush of everything around her.

She was a fan and driver fav around. Everyone had a picture with her and introduced themselves as her uncle and that they would look after her. People like Lewis, Seb and Charles all came with little gifts for her, Seb even had someone make her a custom team Ferrari top so she could fit in with her father and her Uncle Sebastian.

"Today was amazing!" you sighed as you leaned into your husband who currently held your daughter against his bare chest.

"Mmmm, I think you should both take a break though, at least until Summer break and join me afterwards" he smiles, knowing that the heavy time change from Monaco to Australia wasn't good for your or the baby.

"Well, I may as well come to Bahrain with you... its on the way back. But I will leave after that" you smile, pulling him in for a kiss.

"I love you, thank you for giving me this life" he smiles looking between you and his daughter.

"I wouldn't have it any of way" you grin.

BATHURST

WHAT IS BATHURST KNOWN FOR?

Ironically, this normally beautiful and peaceful little country town is known for car racing. Every year, the famous Liqui - Moly 12 Hour car race takes place on Mount Panorama and this usually quiet town suddenly becomes as crowded as  Sydney. Of Course, car racing isn’t Bathurst’s only claim to fame, Bathurst has a long rich history with gold mining, the first gold ever discovered in Australia was discovered in Bathurst, the gold rush which took place between the 1850′s and the 1870′s transformed this small provincial town into a major regional centre.

GETTING THERE AND AWAY

AIR Bathurst has a small regional airport. Pelican Airlines do daily direct flights from Sydney to Bathurst, however this is the most expensive way to travel to Bathurst from Sydney. Pelican Airlines Operates direct flight Between Sydney Airport Terminal T2 and Bathurst with two return flights per day Monday To Friday and 1 return flight on Sunday.

CAR Car is the easiest and most convenient way to get to and from Bathurst.

TRAIN The “Bathurst Bullet” train service link Sydney with Bathurst daily.Daily NSW Trainlink Services from Sydney To Lithgow with coach connections to Bathurst are also avaliable. Bathurst Bullet The Bathurst Bullet departs Bathurst Station at 7:35AM and returns earlier in the afternoon, departing Sydney at 3:05PM and arriving in Bathurst at 6:47PM. There are variations to this schedule on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays to allow for existing Indian Pacific and Intercity services. 

GETTING AROUND

The easiest way to get around Bathurst is by car, While Uber does exist, it can be difficult at times to get one as they are not as common as they are in big cities like Sydney and Melbourne. Bathurst Taxis are another option if you do not have a car but you will have to call for them as taxi’s are not something that you will see frequently whilst walking around Bathurst. There is a Bus company in Bathurst, Bathurst Buslines check the website for more information and for bus routes.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

OPENING HOURS Most businesses in Bathurst are closed on Sundays. Cafes typically open at 7:00AM and close at 3:00PM while restaurants tend to open and close a bit later than this typically around 5:00PM to 9:00PM. Shops usually open at 10:00Am and close at 5:00PM. On or around public holidays such as Christmas and New Year, you can expect most businesses to be closed.

ROAD SAFETY Kangaroos are abundant in Bathurst, unfortunately, that also means that the chance of a collision with one whilst driving is higher than it is in Sydney particularly at night. Drive extra cautiously, especially around areas like Mount Panorama and further out away from the CBD.

With a budget car rental in Melbourne, you can easily venture off the beaten path and discover hidden gems such as Phillip Island, Wilsons Promontory, and the Grampians National Park

Time Efficiency

Time is a valuable resource, especially when you're on vacation or have a busy schedule. Renting a car can save you time by eliminating the need to wait for buses or trains and allowing you to take the most direct routes to your destinations. This efficiency means you can spend more time enjoying the sights and less time in transit.

One of the key benefits of car rentals is the variety of vehicles available. From economy cars to luxury sedans, private car rentals in Melbourne offer a wide selection to meet different needs and preferences. This variety allows you to choose a car that matches your travel requirements, whether you're looking for the cheapest rideshare in Melbourne or a high-end vehicle for a special occasion.

Seamless Airport Transfers

Many car rental companies offer pick-up and drop-off services at the airport, making it easy to start your journey without delay. This convenience is especially valuable after a long flight when all you want is to reach your destination quickly and comfortably.

Conclusion

Renting a car in Melbourne offers numerous benefits that can enhance your travel experience. From the flexibility and freedom to explore at your own pace to the convenience, comfort, and cost-effectiveness of having your own vehicle, car rentals provide an ideal solution for both tourists and locals. With options for budget car rentals, private car rentals, and even the cheapest rideshare in Melbourne, there's a rental solution to suit every need and preference.

Renting a car in Australia offers unparalleled freedom and flexibility for exploring this vast and diverse country. Whether you're planning a scenic drive along the Great Ocean Road, a city tour in Sydney, or an outback adventure, car rental in Australia is the ideal solution. From budget-friendly options to luxury vehicles, you can find a car that suits your needs and preferences. This guide will provide essential tips on finding the best car rental deals, understanding insurance requirements, and navigating Australia's unique driving conditions. Discover how car rental in Australia can enhance your travel experience, allowing you to explore at your own pace and uncover hidden gems off the beaten path.

Why Choosing Car Rental in Australia is a Smart Travel Decision?

Choosing car rental in Australia is a smart travel decision for various reasons. The vastness of the country and the diversity of its landscapes make driving an ideal way to explore. Whether you're navigating the bustling streets of Sydney or venturing into the remote outback, having your own vehicle provides unparalleled freedom. Public transportation can be limiting and expensive, especially in rural areas. With car rental in Australia, you can set your own schedule, take spontaneous detours, and visit less accessible attractions. Moreover, modern rental cars come equipped with advanced navigation systems and safety features, ensuring a comfortable and secure journey. Opting for car rental in Australia allows you to make the most of your trip, experiencing the country in a way that's tailored to your preferences.

How to Find the Best Deals for Car Rental in Australia?

Finding the best deals for car rental in Australia requires a bit of research and planning. Start by comparing prices from various rental companies online. Websites like Rentalcars.com and Kayak offer comprehensive comparisons, helping you find the most competitive rates. Booking in advance is another effective strategy to secure lower prices. Additionally, consider the location of your rental; picking up your car from an airport may incur higher fees compared to downtown locations. Look out for special promotions and discounts, such as those offered to members of certain organizations or credit card holders. By staying flexible with your rental dates and vehicle choice, you can often find better deals. Utilizing these tips will ensure that your car rental in Australia is both affordable and convenient.

Exploring Scenic Routes: Car Rental in Australia

Exploring scenic routes with car rental in Australia is an adventure in itself. The Great Ocean Road, renowned for its stunning coastal views, is a must-drive. Starting from Melbourne, this route takes you through picturesque towns, lush rainforests, and iconic landmarks like the Twelve Apostles. Another fantastic route is the Pacific Coast Touring Route, stretching from Sydney to Brisbane. This drive offers beautiful beaches, national parks, and charming seaside towns. For those seeking an outback experience, the Red Centre Way in the Northern Territory provides an unforgettable journey through the heart of Australia, including a visit to Uluru. Car rental in Australia opens up endless possibilities for discovering the country's natural beauty, making every road trip a memorable experience.

Understanding Insurance Requirements for Car Rental in Australia

Understanding insurance requirements is crucial when opting for car rental in Australia. Most rental companies offer several types of insurance coverage, including Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Theft Protection, and Third-Party Liability. CDW reduces your financial responsibility in case of an accident, while Theft Protection covers the vehicle if it's stolen. Third-Party Liability is mandatory and covers damages to other vehicles or property. It's advisable to thoroughly read the terms and conditions of the insurance policy to avoid any surprises. Additionally, check if your credit card offers rental car insurance, as this can save you money. Ensuring you have adequate insurance coverage will give you peace of mind during your car rental in Australia, allowing you to focus on enjoying your trip.

City vs. Outback: Choosing the Right Vehicle for Car Rental in Australia 

Choosing the right vehicle for car rental in Australia depends on your travel plans. For city driving, a compact car is ideal due to its ease of maneuverability and fuel efficiency. Cities like Sydney and Melbourne have heavy traffic and limited parking, making smaller vehicles more convenient. However, if you plan to explore the outback or drive long distances, a more robust vehicle, such as an SUV or 4WD, is recommended. These vehicles are better suited for rough terrains and provide more comfort for extended journeys. Additionally, consider the number of passengers and luggage space required. Selecting the appropriate vehicle ensures a smoother and more enjoyable experience with your car rental in Australia, whether you're navigating urban landscapes or embarking on a remote adventure.

Top Car Rental Companies in Australia: A Comprehensive Review

When considering car rental in Australia, it's important to choose a reputable company. Some of the top car rental companies include Hertz, Avis, Budget, and Europcar. Hertz is known for its extensive network and high-quality vehicles. Avis offers a wide range of cars and excellent customer service. Budget is a great choice for those looking for affordable rates without compromising on quality. Europcar is renowned for its eco-friendly options and flexible rental plans. Each of these companies provides different benefits, so it's worth comparing their offerings based on your specific needs and preferences. Reading customer reviews and checking ratings can also help in making an informed decision, ensuring you get the best service for your car rental in Australia.

Tips for First-Time Visitors: Navigating Car Rental in Australia

For first-time visitors, navigating car rental in Australia can be straightforward with a few tips. First, familiarize yourself with Australian road rules, such as driving on the left side of the road and seatbelt requirements. Ensure you have a valid driver's license; an International Driving Permit (IDP) may be required for some nationalities. When booking, choose a rental company with a good reputation and read the rental agreement carefully. Inspect the car for any pre-existing damage and report it to avoid charges later. Plan your route in advance and be prepared for long distances between destinations. By following these tips, first-time visitors can enjoy a hassle-free car rental in Australia, making their trip more enjoyable and memorable.

Conclusion

Car rental in Australia offers an exceptional way to explore the country's diverse landscapes and vibrant cities.
