New M12 Motorway Complete Guide: M7 Interchange & Western Sydney Airport | 4K Drive Tour

New M12 Motorway Complete Guide: M7 Interchange & Western Sydney Airport | 4K Drive Tour

The M12 Motorway is now open — and this is your complete guide to navigating the new M7 Interchange in Western Sydney. This 4K POV driving tour is your complete guide to navigating the new link to the Western Sydney International Airport, Elizabeth Drive, and the M7.

I take you through every on-ramp and junction at this busy interchange, so when you need to drive it — whether heading to the Western Sydney International Airport or through to the M7 — you’ll know exactly what to do.

Filmed 15 June 2026 – the day after the interchange opened.

In this POV drive video we’ll also tour the entirety of this brand new motorway, visiting the new Western Sydney International Airport and Elizabeth Drive.

As we go I will present you with informative and educational subtitles so you’ll better appreciate the features and history of this new roadway. This video has no talking, no music, only the sound of the wind and environment. Just great slow TV.
