How To Travel Australia
The Best Way To Travel Australia?
There are countless ways to explore Australia. Many dream of travelling through this beautiful country in a campervan, while others choose an off-grid adventure that needs a 4WD.
We’ve tried both, and while a campervan has its charm, it won’t take you off the beaten path. You’ll always find the best spots where the normal road ends.
If you want to experience the real Australia, connect with wildlife and be outdoors, we highly recommend a 4WD.
We’ve ventured through parts of Australia with our off-grid camper trailer from Patriot Campers in 2023 and 2024, but after two years of towing, we were ready for something new. We spent a lot of time thinking about the perfect overlanding set up, and we believe we have now created the ultimate set up to explore the most remote corners of this beautiful country. We bought a brand new dual-cab 79 series and decided that a Tommy Camper S6X was the perfect off-road slide-on camper for us. Six months in the making, we are now ready for a lap around Australia.
