Getting here There are so many ways to get to Richmond - regardless of whether you want to take the wheel, or sit back and enjoy the ride. Self DriveWhile some may think the Outback is strictly four wheel drive material - it's not. Major highways such as the Matilda Highway and Overlander's Way are fully sealed and the accommodation is as varied as it is comfortable. If you're on the caravan journey of a lifetime, you will be pleased to know nearly all towns have caravan parks.
