Before you begin, or even start planning for that next vacation, allow us to present a suggestion for you to consider. Everyone has heard of Australia, the land of Aborigines (who migrated to the country over 50,000 years ago), Wallabies (small animal similar to a Kangaroo), Kangaroos, Koala Bears, and a people who have their own distinct and unique language. Everyone has heard of, or saw the movie “Crocodile Dundee”. Perhaps now it is your time to plan a trip to the “Land Down Under” and experience firsthand the unique flavors and customs, The food, not to mention the destinations, of this wonderful country. And may we suggest that you consider making this a vacation when you rent or hire a campervan, RV, or Motor Home from Camper Travel Australia. But read on for more information on why you should consider this proposal!

The size of the country is about 4,000 km (about 2,500 mi) from east to west and about 3,700 km (about 2,300 mi) from north to south. It is the smallest continent in the world, but the sixth largest country. The capital is Canberra, and the largest city is Sydney; both are located in the southeast.

While the people are often seen as tough, rough and tumble types, once you really meet them they take to you pretty quickly as they are a friendly sort. Another thing to consider is the weather in Australia. Contrary to popular belief, the country is not all steamy hot and unfriendly. There are extremes here, just as in other countries, but for the most part the climate ranges from arid to temperate.

With your Campervan rental Australia, one popular destination to consider is Sydney, the country’s largest metropolitan area. The city’s harbors and ocean beaches offer an ideal setting for yachting, sailing, surfing, swimming, and scuba diving. Bondi Beach to the east of the CBD and Manly Beach to the north of Port Jackson are popular recreation areas. A ring of national parks around Sydney offers spectacular settings for outdoor family activities, such as bushwalking (hiking). The Taronga Park Zoological Gardens have outdoor-habitat exhibits of endangered animal species and Australian wildlife, all situated on a large site along the Sydney Harbour shore. The Royal Botanic Gardens and Centennial Park are more formal areas of parkland near the CBD. Most of these areas are used extensively for picnics and barbecues as well as for more active pursuits.

Thousands of fans of cricket and rugby football attend weekend games at the Sydney Cricket Ground and Sydney Football Stadium, both in Moore Park. A horseracing track, Randwick Racecourse, is nearby. Homebush Bay saw massive redevelopment for the 2000 Olympics. And one activity that would go well with this type of thing is a “Tailgate Party” in your campervan or motorhome. Don’t miss out on the other events and festivals too.

And not to be missed are Sydney’s Port Jackson harbor which boasts two of Australia’s most recognizable landmarks: the Sydney Harbour Bridge, once the longest single-arch bridge in the world, and the Sydney Opera House, designed by architect Jørn Utzon and completed in 1973.

Another area not to be missed in your Camper Van Australia Motor Home hire is in Brisbane, capital of the state of Queensland, a seaport on the Brisbane River, near Moreton Bay. Brisbane was founded as a station for British convicts in 1824. It was opened to free settlers in 1842, and in 1859 it became the capital of the newly created colony of Queensland. A world’s fair was held in Brisbane in 1988. A new airport and many new buildings were constructed in preparation for the fair. It has one of the fastest-growing populations in Australia. Its population more than doubled between 1940 and 1986. Population (2001) 1,508,161.

In your Campervan Hire Australia vehicle, touring the port facilities including dry docks and more than 3 km (2 mi) of wharf space, will be much easier and more comfortable, much like on the road. Just remember to keep to the signs and campervan road guides. Wool, frozen meat, hides, sugar, dairy products, corn, pearl shell, and coal are the major exports. Brisbane is an important manufacturing center with diversified industries, including food processing, tanning, automobile assembling, brewing, and the manufacture of lumber, clothing, tobacco products, boots and shoes, and machinery. A well-planned municipality, Brisbane has broad streets, numerous parks, and many modern buildings. Noteworthy structures include Parliament House, the town hall, Brisbane Museum, and the buildings of the University of Queensland (1910). And if you’d like to see these places on foot, no worries. There are numerous caravan parks in Australia for you to choose from.

Now consider, this is just two cities, with so many interesting things to see and do. These are but a taste of Australia, the country still has many campervan destinations to offer. If you consider the entire country, and all it has to offer, I am sure you will understand my next suggestion!

Why stop at just coming to Australia and visiting one, or both of these cities? Why not make this a memorable experience? To this end we would like to suggest that you turn this into a unique kind of vacation for the unique country where you will do it. Why not make it a vacation where you hire or rent a motorhome, RV, or campervan from Camper Travel Australia.
