The rest of the article should continue exactly the same way.
A few other things I'd change while we're at it:
- Use "road trip" rather than "road-trip".
- Avoid saying "one of Australia's most iconic" repeatedly.
- Keep paragraphs short, 2 to 3 sentences maximum.
- Add a few personal sounding lines such as "Trust us, you'll want your camera ready for this drive."
- Include actual campground recommendations where possible.
- Add a Google Maps route embed after the introduction.
- Finish with a stronger CTA like:
