Tasmania? I think we’ll move here! Had a swim in the Bass Strait on this trip, a wee in a bank vault (truly), saw falls, aqua beaches, historic lighthouse and met travelling nurses on a hike, cottages and we slept under a nut! Beauty on every turn.
Wadjemup Rottnest Island is best known for the cute quokkas. But did you know it also offers camping? You can, only don’t take your RV. Tents only. CAMPS Ambassadors, Amanda and Dan shared their day on Rottnest Island: “We took the mountain bike and EUC over to check out the Quokka’s and the island. Previous Next Enjoyed a pub style lunch, had a snorkel at the beach and I worked my hamstrings and glutes like they have never been worked before. “Have you ridden around Rottnest? Did you know there were so many hills? I didn’t!” Check
Port Gibbon Beach – Image by Overland Exposure Less than 4 km south of Port Gibbon, South Australia – you’ll find Point Gibbon The Dunes – the newest listing for CAMPS on the spectacular Eyre Peninsula. Said CAMPS Ambassadors, Manda and Dan, “We are in love! We are planning to spend as many days as possible here, because well, why not!!” Suitable for RVs and Big Rigs, it is $50/week with a 14 night time limit. Alternatively, only $10 per night for gorgeous views of the coastline. Permits are available from Beach Rd or Council Office. They said, “BYO water,
I can’t believe we travelled all the way to Bournda National Park and missed this beauty! Wallagoot Gap in Bournda National Park is on the New South Wales’ Sapphire Coast. Bermagui to Wonboyn is known as the Sapphire Coast – and is home to many gems of locations! This well hidden beach is only minutes from Tathra and Merimbula. Wallagoot Gap is a 200 metre walk from Turingal Head Picnic Area (find the day use area in the CAMPS AUSTRALIA WIDE App). You’ll reach a timber platform and stairs down to the beach. Make sure you bring your camera, as
Aslings Beach Pool, Eden Never have I ever seen so many ocean pools in the one Aussie roadtrip, from Wollongong area to Eden. I don’t mean natural rock pools, but man-made swimming pools that meet the sea! I had swim lessons at Snapper Rocks “baths”, next to Queensland’s most southerly Froggie Beach. You can only see remnants of it now. But in Queensland, these ocean pools are less common. Can you believe, it is estimated there are over 70 of these along the NSW coast? As we travelled along the southeastern coast of Australia, we were keen to check them
Here’s an ocean side beauty, brand new Rules Beach Holiday Park, Queensland. It is unspoilt, unique and uncrowded. It has lush green lawns, lots of open space and brand new amenities. Rules Beach is our newest listing. A remote idyllic beachfront location, with state of the art camping facilities, sealed bitumen roads and a beautiful new camp kitchen. The perfect place to relax, 4WD on the beach, fish, fossick or swim – and there’s no crocs to worry about here. On your doorstep is the Deepwater National Park, Baffle Creek and the Southern Barrier Reef. The park has powered camping
Our GoRV Freedom Camp of the Month is Cooee Point Reserve in Tasmania. Read the full article here. Please note the correction: you can see views to 180 metre high plateau, Table Cape, Wynyard (we visited the lighthouse and flower farm there) not The Nut at Stanley. Although those views are magnificent, too!
The first time my kids EVER heard me swear was at Elephant Cove, William Bay National Park, in southern WA. This is a beautiful destination. Insta worthy. Jaw dropping and aptly named. Huge monolithic rocks dominate the view as you reach the beach. I treasure all four of our bambinos. It’s the typical arrangement in our family – mum says “be careful” and Dad encourages them to be adventurous. As we lapped around Australia, and grew up surrounded by national park – truth be told I bred four mountain goats. I loved that they were adrenaline junkies, competent swimmers and
Most people know Lucky Bay near Esperance in WA but there is also a Lucky Bay campground 46km south of Kalbarri and it doesn’t disappoint.
