In the summer of 2017, myself and a few old school mates flew down under and rented a van. The adventure we embarked on is a hilarious journey up the East Coast of Australia, stopping off at world famous landmarks and getting an insight into Ozzy culture. The drive from Sydney to Cairns was a month-long journey alongside the Pacific Coast that was full of incredible ventures and outstanding sites, which were the source of several amazing stories I must share with you. Squeezing four nineteen-year-old guys into a van was interesting enough, but the unbelievably vast variety of the Australian landscape and nature is the scene for some rather brilliant tales, from chasing kangaroos to swimming in waterfalls, fishing for dinner and rolling down sand dunes, our experience of this outstanding country were remarkable.
I hope you enjoy the diverse range of tales to come, whether it be from laughing at a bemused group of British teens or from the wonderment of the beauty of Australia.
Look forward to reading your stories about my country and getting your perspective.

By the way, I love this line from your home page “enjoy the bewilderment of a 20-year-old as he stumbles around the globe”, ‘bewilderment’… what a great word! =)

Can not imagine exploring australia in any other way than on a camper van 😁. We did that in tasmania and New Zealand a few times and it was just beautiful.

What’s the most adventurous thing to do in all of Australia? I’ll be there in a few weeks and I want to really get the most out of my experiences while I’m in Australia because this may be the only time in my life I’ll be able to visit this beautiful continent. I’m so excited 🙂

Last March I flew to Australia, rented a minivan and did a solo trip from Brisbane to Sydney, over to the Grampians, down to the Great Ocean Road, over to Kangaroo Island and flew back home out of Adelaide. It was a life changing experience to say the least and the most perfect vacation I’ve ever had. I LOVE Australia. I’m so looking forward to hearing about your adventures!

Hi, Campervan Man, I always wanted to wander around the world in a van but I’ve left it a bit late, being now a touch ancient, and am only comfortable in my little hatchback, so I’ll have to experience thrill-seeking vicariously through you. Cheers, Coral.
