I've found Google Maps directions in Australia to be very good in the past, it
seems to pick the best route the majority of the time.

Unlike in France, when we ended up in tiny country lanes in the middle of
nowhere looking for our hotel, or Cinque Terre in Italy, where it thought
"streets" were drivable, when in fact it was hard for two people to walk past
each other.
