Beautiful Bedroom Views

Imagine waking up to the crashing of ocean waves or the chirping of birds from the nearby rainforest. When you travel in a van, all the beautiful creations of Mother Nature are right outside your window, waiting for you to explore!

Campervan Friendly

Australia was made for road-tripping, with some of the best caravan and camping facilities in the world. Restrooms, laundry facilities, and even outdoor kitchens can be found in many areas. 

Saving Money

Hotels in Australia can be very expensive. Traveling in a van is a budget-friendly option for many travelers, especially considering how many cheap (or even free) places there are to spend the night! Essentially, your only costs will be food and fuel.

You Get to Disconnect

Although you'll have cell coverage in major towns and cities, you can expect to be living off-the-grid while you're in the outback or other remote areas. But this is a great chance for you to disconnect and enjoy the stunning landscape and scenery around you.

See the Countryside

Australian cities are great but stepping outside of the touristy areas opens up an entirely new world of opportunities. You’ll get to see a more authentic side of the country and meet new friendly faces everywhere you go!

Freedom to Travel Wherever

While it’s possible to travel to some places by train or bus, having a van makes it so much easier to explore different parts of Australia. You’re not confined to popular cities or predetermined routes – you can go wherever your heart desires! 

No Time Pressure

Say goodbye to check-out times and quiet hours. Travelling around in a van means you are free from any time constraints! Without an itinerary, you can explore the country at your leisure.

Sleep in a National Park

Australia has more than 500 national parks, many of which are open to campers! You won’t have to waste time driving back and forth to your hotel. Simply park and immerse yourself in the country’s untouched natural beauty.   

Make New Friends

The van life community is huge in Australia, making it easy to connect with other people on the road. You can also join a MeetUp or Facebook Group if you’re looking to meet like-minded people in different destinations.

You’ll be a Traveller, Not a Tourist!

Travelling around Australia in a van isn’t for holiday-makers – it’s for adventurers! This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see things that other people could only dream of. Explore the hidden gems, live the local culture, and be prepared to have one unforgettable journey!
