Itinerary

Exact itineraries vary depending on the tour type. 

Morning: Start your adventure early in the morning on the hiking trails of Morialta National Park as the bush slowly awakens from the night. Follow the trails past impressive rock faces, gorges and seasonal waterfalls. Enjoy the first rays of sunshine that bathe the rugged landscape in warm colors and take in the untouched nature.

During the morning: Observe native animals in their natural environment – here you can see wild koalas, the occasional kangaroo or echidna. The creeks, rock pools and higher slopes of the gorge provide habitat for frogs, geckos, skinks and dragons. Use the binoculars provided to spot the diverse birdlife, including the Superb Fairy-wren, the rare Golden Whistler, Rainbow Lorikeets and the famous Laughing Hans.

Midday: After a three-hour hike of around 6 km, you will reach the park’s three waterfalls. Morialta Falls and Second Falls impress with their high quartzite cliffs, while Third Falls is in a quieter, more secluded setting – perfect for taking in nature at your leisure. Then it’s back to Adelaide, where you can look forward to lunch at Adelaide Central Market, for example.

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.

👉 You can find all the tips and information on how free camping works legally, safely and stress-free in our blog:

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.

What you should book well in advance – your Australian adventure

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.

🚐 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.

💳 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.
