Whether you want to explore national parks, discover vibrant cities like Sydney and Melbourne or experience the outback, Australia has the ideal tour for every travel style.

Cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth are excellent starting points for unforgettable day tours.

Brisbane and the surrounding region offer a mix of national parks, wildlife encounters and scenic coastal excursions.
Nature & National Park Tours You Shouldn’t Miss
Australia’s natural beauty is one of its biggest attractions, and many day tours lead into some of the world’s most spectacular national parks. The Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory, the Daintree Rainforest in Queensland or the Grampians in Victoria offer dramatic landscapes, waterfalls and unique wildlife. Kuranda and Cape Tribulation are also popular day-trip destinations. A special highlight is the Great Barrier Reef, where boat tours, snorkelling and diving experiences provide unforgettable views of one of the most diverse marine ecosystems on the planet.
Outback Adventures: Uluru, Kata Tjuta & the Red Centre
For many travellers, a trip into the outback becomes one of the most memorable parts of their Australian journey.

In addition to the Great Barrier Reef, Australia’s coastline is home to numerous outstanding day-trip destinations. Fraser Island, the world’s largest sand island, features crystal-clear lakes, rainforests and wide beaches. On the west coast, Ningaloo Reef, Broome and the beaches near Exmouth provide exceptional natural experiences, including encounters with whale sharks and vibrant coral formations. These coastal regions are ideal for guided tours and day excursions.

Campsites or freedom camping?
Both are possible in Australia – it’s all in the mix!
⛺ Campsites offer you comfort: electricity, showers, kitchens and often a nice community atmosphere.
🚐 Freedom camping is ideal for anyone who likes to travel independently and inexpensively – but beware: overnight stays are only permitted in designated areas and vary from state to state.
We recommend a good combination of both in order to travel flexibly and relaxed.

When should I book my camper?
Australia is a popular travel destination – especially during the school vacations, in summer (Dec-Feb) and spring (Sep-Nov) it can quickly become scarce. We recommend this especially for routes with one-way rentals or special camper models:
🕒 The earlier the better – 6+ months in advance is ideal
In the short term, many providers may already be fully booked or only more expensive options may be available.
👉 You can find more tips on the best time to book in our blog article:
What you should book well in advance – your Australian adventure
How long does the camper battery last?
The battery life depends on the type of vehicle and how it is used. On average, the following applies:
1-3 nights self-sufficient – then the vehicle should be reconnected to the power grid (e.g. at a campsite).
🚐 Important to know:
The on-board battery is only fully recharged while driving (slightly) or when connected to the mains.
☀️ Some campers also have a solar panel that supports the battery when parked – ideal for short stops without a power connection. Nevertheless, we recommend:
🔌 Connect to the mains every 2-3 nights – to ensure that the fridge, lights etc. run smoothly.
Can I drive on gravel roads?
🚐 With a standard camper (2WD), you may only drive on paved roads.
This means: paved roads or partially well-maintained access roads to official campsites or tourist attractions (depending on the provider).
🌄 O nly with a 4WD camper are you allowed to deviate from paved roads and drive on gravel or off-road routes.
But be careful:
For certain routes (e.g. Gibb River Road, Oodnadatta Track, Cape Leveque Road), written permission from the rental company is often required – and not all providers allow beach drives or river crossings.
💬 O ur tip: If you’re planning an off-road adventure, just let us know – we’ll tell you which routes are permitted and which campers are suitable.
Do I need a credit card?
💳 Yes, a credit card is required to collect the vehicle.
Even if you can pay for your booking with Ausventure Travel conveniently by credit card or bank transfer, all rental companies require a valid credit card on collection.
This is required in order to:
- pre-authorize the deposit (liability sum)
(depending on the insurance package selected), - to charge any additional fees such as tolls, fines or fuel costs retrospectively.
💡 Tip: A prepaid credit card or debit card is not accepted in most cases. Make sure that your credit card is valid at the time of collection and has a sufficient limit.
