  • Australian Backpacker Hitlist - Best locations for backpacking in Australia  By : Gavin Wyatt
    Whether you love them, hate them or are one of them, backpackers are an essential part of the tourism industry. Australia has been a staple favourite of backpackers for decades. The solid infrastructure, the political stability, the friendly people- we are Backpacking 101 for wide eyed and keen globe trotters
  • Touring the Tasman Peninsula, Australia  By : Gavin Wyatt
    The wild cliffs, the sweeping views and the expansive farmlands of the Tasman Peninsula seem like a world apart from Tasmania, yet it takes less than an hours drive from Hobart in your campervan to reach them. So close is it that you can explore most of the Peninsula in a day trip, but the quality of the sights you see and the overall beauty of the landscapes will no doubt entice you to stay a little longer.
  • Daylesford: Australias Spa Capital  By : Gavin Wyatt
    Do you need a holiday that really refreshes your body and soul? One of complete physical indulgence, where every mental and bodily ailment is tended to and abolished, leaving a new person with a fresh outlook on life? It sounds slightly fictional doesnt it, like some kind of fanciful place out of an episode of 'Sex and the City'.
  • Esperance- A Secret No More - Esperance Bay, Australia  By : Gavin Wyatt
    Its called the 'Secret South'- the length of Western Australian coastline next to the Southern Ocean that until recently has been largely ignored by the tourist masses. But as travellers get more intrepid and even the most far flung places become more accessible this is one secret that is out the bag. Off the coast of Esperance lies the Recherche Archipelago.
  • Riverland Country, Australia - Barmera and Murray River  By : Gavin Wyatt
    The fertile fields of the Riverland draw life from the long hours of sunshine falling on them and from the smooth flowing waters of the mighty Murray River- offering up a juicy bounty of grapes, citrus fruits, nuts and stone fruit. As a result this picturesque area has a substantial dried fruit industry and is the largest wine producing region in Australia
  • Port Lincoln: Hub of the Eyre Peninsula  By : Gavin Wyatt
    The abundant wonders of the Eyre Peninsula are well document .d, and make for an exciting and intriguing tour in a campervan. One of the largest towns, which is something of an informal capital for the peninsula, is Port Lincoln- an important economic base for the grain and fishing industries in the region.
  • Serenity in Stanley  By : Gavin Wyatt
    The north west of Tasmania is relatively unknown in tourist circles, with the large National Parks and towns seeming to get the majority of any travel promotion. This is a travesty when you consider the unspoiled scenery and the hidden treasures of this special part of Tasmania. A beautiful coastline and a lush hinterland are home to many species of unique Tasmanian wildlife, and the small, cosy towns are the perfect destination for a quiet break.
  • Its All Good in Port Macquarie  By : Gavin Wyatt
    Located about 400 kilometres north of Sydney on the New South Wales Central Coast lies one of the most diverse seaside destinations in Australia. Port Macquarie, with its population of 40 000 people, has everything you would want from a campervan touring holiday -
  • Kings Canyon: Scenic Desert Royalty  By : Gavin Wyatt
    The harsh desert landscapes of the 'red centre' of Australia are as unforgiving and brutal as they are beautiful. Stretching as far as the eye can see are miles and miles of sunbaked earth, seemingly devoid of feature except for resilient shrubbery, large dunes and strange geological features. Yet desert regions are becoming increasingly popular with tourists for different reasons- their stark beauty; their vastness; and perhaps the feeling of complete detachment from modernity they provide.
  • St Helens - Pieces of the Past  By : Gavin Wyatt
    A tour through the north east of Tasmania is a journey through a kaleidoscope of colour. Inland there are the lush green rolling fields and the dark pine forests, punctuated by the purples and yellows of the fields of poppies and lavenders that flower in the spring.
  • 7 Tips for a Fun Filled Family Holiday  By : Jenny Brewer
    With five children ranging from four through to sixteen, I have experienced some of the best and worst of travelling with children. Tempting as it often is to postpone our annual trips away together, albeit with backseat fights, clothing of every shape, colour and size hanging out of seven overstuffed suitcases, and of course the never ending hunger pains
  • Strahan- Raw Beauty on the Tassy West Coast  By : Gavin Wyatt
    The World Heritage area that covers some 20 per cent of Tasmania is at it's most wild and beautiful on the island's West Coast. Here the thundering waves of the Southern Ocean and the uninhabited rocky shores meet each other head on, as unpredictable as the rapidly changing weather of the region
  • Charleville - The Real Outback  By : Jenny Brewer
    The beauty of Queensland is its diversity, and one fantastic way to experience this is to head west towards the red heart of Australia to the largest town in the southern central outback. The journey from Brisbane to Charleville is well travelled, rich in history and abundant in natural attractions. Located 750km west from Brisbane, via the garden city of Toowoomba, this is the perfect destination for an outback campervan holiday.
  • Tom Price - Desert Harmony  By : Gavin Wyatt
    Inland Western Australia consists of desert scenery as far as the eye can see. Mile upon mile of red earth bakes under the sun, covered in spartan vegetation and home to hardy outback critters. Everything seems to be done on a grander scale out here
  • Geraldton: Islands, Mountains and Beaches  By : Gavin Wyatt
    450 kilometres north of Perth on the West Coast of Australia, Geraldton AKA 'The Sunshine City' is fast becoming Australia's favourite winter playground. With warm temperatures the whole year round and 8 hours of sunshine a day in the winter months
  • The Murraylands: Houseboat Holiday Heaven  By : Gavin Wyatt
    The wide expanse of the Murray River flows past sedately, lazily making its way to the ocean. The setting sun reflects orange off its still surface, broken only by the fishing line and float that you have thrown out in hope of catching an elusive Murray cod.
  • Byron to Ballina  By : Jenny Brewer
    For the traveller who prefers to soak in the scenery and beauty of each mile at a more leisurely pace, the route from Byron to Ballina is perfect. This lifestyle is a combination of relaxation and creativity, with the raw pleasures of sunshine, golden beaches, chatty locals and arty shops a perfect escape.
  • Apollo Bay - Seaside Spectacle  By : Gavin Wyatt
    The scenic delights of the Great Ocean Road in Victoria are well known to campervan travellers who traverse its length in droves, taking in the stunning ocean views, weird geological formations and thick forest. Over hills, along steep cliffs, through rainforest and next to beaches- the road passes through an immense variety of landscapes in a relatively short distance
  • Australians Torn Apart: To Swim or Not to Swim  By : Gavin Wyatt
    We've all seen the adverts. First theres a close up of a bronzed beauty in a white bikini sashaying down the beach, her damp, sun-kissed locks bouncing from side to side with each step. Then the camera zooms out to a wide angle shot of the dazzling white sands and the turqouise waters lapping up against them.
  • The Kings Canyon: Outback Royalty  By : Gavin Wyatt
    The centre of Australia is dominated by millions of square kilometres of sunbaked red earth, punctuated irregularly by geological features that vary in their degree of spectacle from interesting to completely mind blowing. Modern tourists seem to be on a quest for seclusion- as the world gets smaller and smaller we are running out of places to escape the 'madding crowd', so we are broadening the scope of destinations we visit
  • Traralgon and the Latrobe Valley  By : Gavin Wyatt
    The expansive Gippsland region covers most of eastern Victoria, stretching from the beaches and lakes of the southern coast right up to the snowfields of the Alpine National Park, encompassing rainforest, mountains, wide rivers and lush valleys. It is an immense place for any visitor to explore, but with the amount of beautiful sights, historic places and fun activities on offer any holiday here is going to be packed with fun and adventure.
  • Victoria's Shipwreck Coast  By : Robert
    On a sunny, calm day there is nowhere more beautiful than the Victorian Coastline to the west of Melbourne. The blue waters, pristine beaches and amazing limestone features are the picture of serenity, and images of them have graced coffee table books and travel manuals the world over.
  • Bowen-Queensland coast: Gem of the Coral Coast  By : Robert
    The town of Bowen is situated on the Queensland coast in the northern parts of the Whitsunday region. As a tourist destination it's often overlooked in favour of its southerly neighbour, Airlie Beach, which is about a 45 minute drive down the coast.
  • The Highs and Highs of the Adelaide Hills  By : Robert
    The Adelaide Hills were initially settled by the Germans, and their influence still runs thick through the towns here. Especially famous is Hahndorf, Australia's oldest surviving German settlement having been established in 1839. Many of the buildings first built here are still standing, and the elm and plane trees that line the streets are a century old, which helps create an air of historical significance.
  • The Rugged Scenery Of The East Macdonnell Ranges  By : Robert
    It doesn't matter if you are travelling from Ayers Rock, Adelaide, Darwin or Tennant Creek, all roads lead to Alice Springs, and with two majestic ranges on either side it is so worth exploring the wilderness just outside the city. Only one hundred kilometres to the east from Alice are the breathtaking Eastern MacDonnell Ranges. Although not as well known as the ranges to the West, they offer incredible walks, magnificent views and a diversity you will find hard to match.
