A tour up the east coast is an especially popular option, with backpackers and families alike
hiring a campervan and enjoying a leisurely drive that takes you through a vast array of differing
landscapes. The full experience will take you from Melbourne in the south, right up the coast
through Sydney and ending up in Brisbane. This is a long way, but you can choose to do any
segment of this trip at one time if you do not have the time or resources to go the full distance.
We have nationwide depots where you can drop off your budget campervan.
The first segment of the trip is from Melbourne to Sydney, and can take you anything from
three days to three weeks depending on how much you wish to see. The coastline here is
dramatic, with beautiful beaches and amazing rock formations par for the course. You will also
drive through pristine countryside and thick, lush forest, as well as the wide plains at the lower
end of the Snowy Mountain country. You have the choice of any number of cosy little towns to
in which to park your campervan in and take a break. Lakes Entrance is a favourite because of
its surf oriented beaches and its access to the Gippsland Lakes. After such a peaceful drive
through the country, the bright lights of Sydney may seem a bit daunting, but have a look at
this article for things to do in this exciting city.
The Sydney to Brisbane leg is the best as far as beaches go. Take a couple of surfboards with
you for the ultimate surfing safari, and be sure to stop in at the tourist haven of Coffs Harbour
for some perfect swell. Byron Bay is one town you cannot miss either. Situated on a wide,
calm bay and watched over by the most photographed lighthouse in Australia, the laid back
and bohemian lifestyle of this special town will make you want to stay forever. From Byron its
just a short drive to the Gold Coast, which also has an amazing array of beaches and of
course the infamous Surfers Paradise. An hour north of the Goldy and you reach your
destination of Brisbane, which is a beautiful town well worth exploring before you drop off your
budget camper at our depot.
