Cruising the Coast Campervan
Overview
There’s no better way to experience Australia’s iconic East Coast than by taking to the open road. The stretch between Brisbane and Sydney is one of the most scenic and adventure-packed routes in the country.
You’ll start your journey in Brisbane, where you can enjoy a couple of days in the laid-back capital of Queensland. You’ll kick-start the road portion of your adventure once you pick up your vehicle, where you can head up to the artsy Sunshine Coast or to Noosa for the Eumundi Market. You can visit iconic destinations like Rainbow Beach or Bundaberg before making your way down towards Sydney. Heading south along the coast, you can explore Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour or Port Macquarie, until your route eventually leads to bustling Sydney.
Travelling by campervan gives you the ultimate freedom to explore at your own pace. Whether you're a nature lover, a foodie or simply seeking a taste of the open road, this campervan trip promises a mix of adventure and relaxation—served with a good dose of Aussie spirit.
Fuel up, pack your essentials—your coastal journey awaits!
