Very much possible either way: North South, or East West, or to circumnavigate.

Many retired couples towing caravans do it.
You'll experience a wide variety of landscape and some brilliant country side.

It wouldn't be anything like the driving experience you'd get in the US.
Our townships are more sparsely spread, you could drive hours without seeing a one, particularly out west or through the middle.

Enjoy
