Australia is home to the world’s longest straight stretch of road — 146.6 km (91 miles) with no bends.


This perfectly straight section is part of the Eyre Highway across the Nullarbor Plain in South Australia and Western Australia. It's so flat and featureless that it’s nicknamed the “90 Mile Straight.”


It’s a legendary drive for road trippers — just don’t expect a lot of corners!
