Apartment-styled kitchen equipment

One of the highlights of renting a van to travel Australia is being able to taste your way through the diverse gastronomical landscape.

You'll find everything you need to cook up a gourmet campervan meal, including:

  • China plates and bowls

Clothing

While Australia is known for its sunny disposition, its vastness means that different regions experience different climates and weather at any given time. Whether you're soaking up the sun in Queensland, skiing in the Alps, exploring tropical rainforests, hiking through arid deserts or exploring the Outback's rugged beauty (or perhaps a mixture of a few of these!), the right clothing ensures comfort and a memorable experience.

Personal items

When travelling, personal items are the most frequently missed item on a campervan packing list. So, before heading off on your adventure, make sure to check that you have your toiletries, any vital medications, and protective items like sunscreen for the scorching deserts or insect repellent for forest adventures. And, as always, a well-stocked first-aid kit can be a lifesaver.

 

Entertainment

We will be the first to admit that while the open road and the changing landscapes are inherently entertaining, there are moments on a road trip when you'll crave other forms of entertainment. This can be especially true during the evenings, during a long driving day, or to mentally reset when taking a break from driving. Here's a list to keep you and your group entertained throughout your Australia road trip:

  • Books & Magazines – a great electricity-free way to unwind on the road

  • Audiobooks, Podcasts and Music – keep you entertained on long drives

  • Board Games & Card Games – perfect way to unwind as a family 

  • Digital Entertainment – movies or your favourite tv show to unwind 

  • Outdoor Games – balls, frisbees and so on, are a great way to break up a long drive or unwind after a long day

  • Nature Guides – to learn more about the flora and fauna around you

Remember, the essence of a motorhome journey is the experience of the journey itself. However, these entertainment options can be a great way to enhance those moments of pause, making every aspect of your trip memorable.

 

Outdoor gear

Australia is a multifarious hub perfect for outdoor activities. Whether it's kayaking in the serene rivers, hiking in the dense forests, or snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef, the right gear ensures a safe and comfortable adventure. Here are a few essentials to pack for some of the most popular outdoor adventure activities in Australia:

  • Hiking: A lightweight backpack, water bottles, sturdy boots

  • Surfing: Surfboard, wetsuit/rash guard, surf wax 

  • Outback Adventures: Wide-brimmed hat, sturdy, closed shoes

  • Snorkelling: Snorkel and mask, wetsuit

  • Kayaking: Personal Flotation Device (PFD), waterproof bag

  • Biking: Helmet, puncture repair kit, gloves and padded shorts

  • Camping: Tent, sleeping bag, torch

If you are planning to do these experiences only once on your trip, it may be best to simply join a tour or hire your gear at your destination. However, if you are planning to do a longer trip with many stops for this activity along the way, it can be worthwhile to pack the essentials. Whether you're riding a wave, exploring ancient forests, or gazing at the stars in the vast outback, the right gear ensures safety, comfort, and unforgettable memories.

 

 

Food and snacks

Australia's culinary delights are legendary, and what better way to experience them than by stocking up your motorhome kitchen with local ingredients? Whether you choose to stock up on gourmet cheeses from the hinterland of New South Wales, delectable wines from South Australia, or iconic Aussie snacks like vegemite, preparing your meals becomes a joyous part of the journey. Whether you're on the road for a few days or a few weeks, packing the right food and snacks is essential.  

 

Electronics and chargers

Australia offers countless moments that you'll want to capture. Be it the iconic Sydney Opera House or the serene landscapes of the Outback. Don’t forget your camera and chargers! For international travellers, be sure that you have all the necessary adapters. 

 

Navigation and maps

Modern tech is fantastic, but in the remote beauty of Australia, it is common to lose mobile/cell service. As such, traditional maps or a standalone GPS can be invaluable. If you choose to use google maps, we recommend downloading offline maps so that you will have maps with you at all times.
