Thinking About a Road Trip in Australia?

Let yourself be captivated for a few minutes by this video from Joshua Edwards and his friends during their five-week road trip along Australia's East Coast.

Why rent a motorhome or campervan to explore Australia?

There are plenty of reasons. You get freedom, adventure, the chance to go wherever you want, whenever you want. Fall asleep to the sound of the rainforest, wake up by the beach to watch a stunning sunrise, climb the mountain right outside your campervan door, give surfing a go, let a natural waterfall give you a massage, and meet other travellers chasing the same dream as you.

When to travel to Australia?

One of Australia's advantages is the sheer size of the country - fourteen times the size of France, in case your geography lessons are a distant memory. Australia also enjoys huge climate diversity. There's always a corner of the country offering the ideal weather for a sunny motorhome trip.

Seasons here are reversed compared to the Northern Hemisphere ;-) That means many travellers head out between November and March, when much of the north is in the depths of winter, to enjoy some sunshine in Australia's south during that stretch. If you'd rather travel during the summer holidays instead, head north instead - from Alice Springs to Darwin - where the climate stays especially pleasant.
