Best Time To Travel

Late Winter to early Summer (August to December) provides warm days and cool nights, with only the occasional rainfall. Make sure you have a sunhat and plenty of sunscreen. Be prepared for your trip with the Australian Camping Checklist.

Go on an excursion of the coast of the Tasman Sea as you take in the sights from New South Wales to Victoria (or vice versa).
The route stays on sealed roads and all listed caravan parks welcome campervans of all sizes, so any standard 2WD motorhome can be used for this itinerary. Find great campervans for hire from top Sydney operators, or start your trip from Melbourne by following the itinerary in reverse.
