    Default Across Australia

    Having just bought my first Volvo ('03 XC70) on the other side of the country, I enjoyed (with a co-driver!) a 3500Km drive over 3 days to bring it home. I'm proud to say that it was a wonderful, comfortable & uneventful trip, so I'm really sold on this great car. The days were:
    Day 1: 700Km Melbourne to Renmark, South Australia
    Day 2: 1350Km Renmark to Border Village on the SA/WA border
    Day 3: 1450Km Border Village to home

    Since returning home, I've been able to solve a minor niggle by researching it on this Forum, saving myself both time and money. Thanks for the great information and assistance, everyone!

    All the best

    Sounds like a great trip for 3500Km glad you enjoyed it and solved the 'minor niggle' with some research, it would have been a heck of a long trip to have to have taken the car back to get the problem sorted out!

    Meanwhile enjoy the car, I am sure it will continue to give you many more comfortable and safe trips.

    Good ole Kimba.
    That exact spot is one of the most photographed in Australia

    That certainly epitomizes the meaning of "cross country!" Enjoy the car - they're brilliant!
