Time to expand your bubble and explore the open road
Time to pack those bags and hit the open road again.
It’s been a long wait, but with restrictions easing and life with the COVID-19 virus starting to settle, it’s time to think about that next holiday.
In this “new world”, road trips are easier than you think. For the most part you don’t need to stress about crossing borders anymore.
This makes it a great time to get out of your bubble.
During the past two years, our worlds got a whole lot smaller due to border restrictions and lockdowns. If you’ve been feeling claustrophobic, it’s time to explore.
Except for Western Australia, Australian domestic travellers can travel to and from all states and territories (in some cases provided they are vaccinated), without a negative test or quarantine. Excluding WA and Northern Territory, you don’t need a border pass either.
These logistical headaches may be mostly over, staying safe and healthy is still a priority when planning a holiday.
Luckily, there are plenty of ways to be as safe as possible when travelling and there are certain travel styles that pose less risk.
By renting a motorhome with Apollo, you’ve got yourself a safe bubble for the duration of your trip.
You’ll often be outside, experiencing the natural wonders of Australia, or you’ll be inside your motorhome.
Travelling this way, you avoid shared air systems like in hotels or planes and crowded indoor spaces.
It’s just you and your travel companions in your home on wheels.
Apollo makes road trips easy with their ApolloConnect app, online check-in and handy “how’ to” videos providing everything you need to know before you hit the road.
Australia is chock-full of astonishing destinations – be they beachy, mountainous, bushland or outback.
You may be surprised at just how many spots you’re yet to discover in this glorious country.
Just imagine cruising down the highway after waking up at your beachside campsite. You’ve stopped for a coffee in a small coastal town, and you’re headed to your next destination. You’re not quite sure where that’ll be, and you don’t need to decide just yet as your home is where you park it. Ultimate freedom, and adventures await – will we see you on the road in 2022?
