I'm interested in a trip around Australia, and need to know how long it would take roughly driving all day, but not nights, then can adjust that answer to days off etc! Thanks!

OK the circumference of Australia is over 10,000 miles!!!
From LA to NY is 2460 miles so its the equivalent of making the trip 4 times.
If you were driving 8 hours a day at 55 mph that would be 440 miles per day and the number of days required for the trip would be 22.5 days
(I love stuff like this))

Eddie is overstating things by a little, but not a lot.
This a route that roughly circles Australia;
Sydney - Melbourne - Adelaide - Perth - Darwin - Cairns -
Brisbane - Sydney
Sydney - Melbourne998 km
Melbourne - Perth 3472 km
Perth - Darwin4113 km
Darwin - Cairns2845 km
Cairns - Sydney2722 km
Total Distance: 14140 km (8766 miles)
Roughly three times the distance from New York to LA.
Given that some of the roads in Western Australia and Northern Territory are pretty rough, your average should be around 350 - 400 miles a day. I would set aside a month.

Australia is approximately the size of the continental US.
It would take weeks, years or decades, depending upon what you want to see and for how long.

Takes too long...cause you have to stop and feed the Crocs and Kangaroos.
