Highway 1 is the road that circumnavigates Australia. It is about 20,000km long. If you were to drive non-stop and average 100km/h it would take you 200 hours. You can't do it non-stop and you can't average 100km/h so it is going to take you a lot longer than that.

If you stick to Highway 1, it is about 20,000km. Highway 1, however, cuts off lots of the coast. If you were to stick to the coast as much as possible you would need a 4WD as a lot of it would be on very rough roads, particularly in the north and many of those roads are impassable in the wet season. It would be possible at 100km/h to travel round Highway 1 in 200 driving hours which is a little less than 10 days but you would need to stop for food, fuel and rest and you wouldn't see much. By the way, ignore the Wolf Creek nutters, hitchhiking is still safe in Australia both for hitchers and drivers.

There is no highway that follows the coast all the way round, and some areas are closed without special permit (eg Arnhem land).
