Campervanning in Queensland

Arrive in the outdoorsy city of Brisbane, where it’s not unusual to spot early- morning joggers by the riverside. You can join in too with a spot of kayaking or rock climbing, or simply hang out in the fabulous coffee shops and arty cafes. Perhaps wander through the world-class galleries before enjoying an alfresco meal in the sunshine, chilled glass of wine in hand. For a touch of the cute factor, consider the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary where you can get up close to Australia’s most popular native animals, pose for photos with the koalas and hand-feed kangaroos.

Land in the lively city of Brisbane and collect your campervan. Set sail on a relaxing river cruise, stopping to admire the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, the city centre and the Story Bridge along the way. After trying out Brisbane’s funky cafes and restaurants, you’ll set off on your road trip adventure. Following your own route across southern Queensland, you can choose to explore the peaceful beaches of the Sunshine Coast, learn to surf on the Gold Coast or sample the delights of the Bundaberg Rum Distillery, set among the sugar canes. Whatever you do, you’re sure to love the endless sunny days and laid-back attitude of the aptly-named Sunshine State.
