The itinerary would be best experienced during the dry season (between May to November). It would also work during the wet season (December to April), although you'll need to be prepared for rainfall and high humidity. Know what to bring with our Camping Checklist and read about the Climate In Queensland.

Here's a great way to discover the beaches and lush forests of Queensland, on a 10 day tour that can easily be extended depending on how long you want to stay in each stop.
This tour makes use of sealed roads so you can bring a 2WD campervan or go for one of our awesome 4WDs. There are great motorhomes for hire in Cairns Campervan Hire. You can also follow the itinerary in reverse if you're planning to start in Brisbane. Find your vehicle in Campervan Hire Brisbane.
