Australia in a Motorhome - From Carnarvon to Cooktown and everywhere the sat‑nav panicked in between, we’ve crossed deserts, coastlines, and the odd kangaroo traffic jam. Four trips, countless miles, several motorhomes, and only a few “whose idea was this?” moments. Whether it was the red centre, the wet coast, or the “is this really a road?” bits, Australia kept us hooked. Dive into our routes, pics, and videos — wanderlust guaranteed.
We have now been in essence from Carnarvon on the west coast above the desert right the way across the Nullarbor and up the east coast as far as Cooktown, plus thru the red centre from Darwin to Adelaide and diversions to Broome and Kunnanarra. Loved every moment of it and most of it in a Motorhome! The first occasion we only had the motorhome in Queensland, the second was our gap year where we had a motorhome on both the west and east coasts, the 3rd after Doug & Phoenix's Wedding and the 4th with our dear pals Chris & Allyson. Why not take a look at our various expeditions, writeup, pictures and videos to maybe wet your appetite!

want to travel across and around Australia in a motorhome?
we have quite a few times, maybe the links here to our major holiday websites would help you, we have hired britz, maui, apollo vans , note they are all now owned by THL (transport holdings limited) in both Australia and New Zealand. Don't get caught out by the additional road tax in New Zealand they don't tell you about it up front so maybe google it before you book or go, just a thought
