Road trips are the best way to get out and explore. 

They offer the freedom to make your own adventure and bring a nostalgia of a simpler time.

Almost everyone has a childhood memory of a road trip of some sort. Whether it be an hour drive packed into the family car to visit family, a longer adventure parked up in a beachside caravan park, or for those more well-travelled, epic summer holidays reuniting with the same families every year around the campfire.

Road trips are a part of the Aussie experience and provide the best lifelong memories - if you haven’t done a camper road trip here’s a couple reasons why now is the time to take the plunge:

1. Australia is pretty darn big

Let’s face is, there’s so much to see and do in Australia that you can be forgiven for being overwhelmed by choice. A road trip lets you see so much that can be missed if you’re flying between cities. From ever changing scenery from bush to beach and back, learning about local indigenous history and sampling local food- there’s something new to discover around every corner.

2. Memories to last a lifetime

Most often those experiences we have with family and friends that help us to feel connection are those that stay with us. There’s no other connection like a family holiday and being able to tailor your trip to your family means that you can create those moments that mean the most.

3. Authentic holidays

Road trips provide a way to experience a place, region, or country in the most authentic way. They allow you to see more and interact with locals in a way that is easy and natural.  Jumping from city to city or plane to plane, you miss the intricacies of what makes a place unique. Road trips allow you to be entrenched in local history making a lasting impression for you to share with others when telling of your travels.
