PICKING UP YOUR VAN

This pass is a bank of 30 campervan days to spend over 12 months, one day at a time or all at once. Each trip starts at one of six Campervan Village depots, in Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide or Hobart. Do the online check-in ahead, then the team hand over your Mystery Machine 2-seater, a Suzuki APV or similar with a double bed in the back, a rear kitchen with sink and gas cooker, and a 20 litre esky. Bring your own bedding and a 12V USB charger. You can roam anywhere within 500 km of the coast between Cairns and Adelaide, which takes in some of the best coastline in Australia.

CAIRNS TO BRISBANE: THE QUEENSLAND COAST

The run from Cairns to Brisbane is about 1,700 km down the Bruce Highway, so it suits a long stretch of your days. Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef system on earth at about 2,300 km long. Heading south, Airlie Beach is the jumping-off point for the Whitsunday Islands, 74 islands in the Coral Sea. Further down, the sugar towns give way to the Sunshine Coast and Noosa, where the national park headland has koalas in its gum trees. Stop when you like; the van is your bed every night.

SYDNEY TO BRISBANE: UP THE NEW SOUTH WALES COAST

From Sydney it's about 900 km north to Brisbane, a classic road trip of surf towns and national parks. Port Macquarie has a koala hospital that has cared for injured koalas since 1973. Further on, Byron Bay sits under Cape Byron, the most easterly point of mainland Australia, where humpback whales pass close to the lighthouse between June and November. Cross the border to the Gold Coast and its 57 km of beaches before you reach Brisbane, or take the drive in short hops over several trips.

MELBOURNE TO ADELAIDE AND A TASMANIAN LOOP

From Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road runs 243 km along the Victorian coast. Returned soldiers built it between 1919 and 1932 as a memorial to those killed in the First World War, and it passes the Twelve Apostles, limestone stacks up to 45 metres tall. Carry on west through the Grampians or along the coast to Adelaide. Or start in Hobart for a loop of Tasmania: Port Arthur, a convict settlement founded in 1830, the pink granite and Wineglass Bay at Freycinet, and Cradle Mountain, 1,545 metres,on the edge of the wild west.

RETURNING THE VAN

Bring the van back to the depot where you collected it, with the same fuel level, or pay the one-way fee to leave it at another depot and turn the trip into a single long run. The days you didn't use stay in your pass for next time, and if your plans change, you can sell them, gift them or share them with a friend. Every hire carries damage cover that cuts your liability to $1, so the only things to watch are the 500 km coastal limit and the no-beach, no-island driving rule.

Good to know

Meeting point: Campervan Village depots in Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Hobart. There is no airport pick-up; the depots are reached by public transport, taxi or rideshare.
Departure time: Depots are open Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm and Saturday 9am to noon, closed Sundays. After-hours pick-up or return must be arranged ahead and may cost extra.
Minimum age: Drivers must be 18 or over. Provisional licence holders can hire, which may attract an extra fee.
Suits: Couples, friends and solo travellers. The van has two seats and no back seat, so it does not suit young children.
Accommodation note: You sleep in the van on a double bed. There is no mains power hook-up. The van is 1.86 metres high and needs 2.3 metres of clearance, so avoid undercover car parks and drive-throughs.
Please note: Travel is limited to within 500 km of the coast between Cairns and Adelaide; going further west voids the damage cover. Beach and island driving are not allowed. Hire days are counted as calendar days, so a Monday pick-up and Tuesday return uses two. Complete the online check-in before pick-up, ideally 72 hours ahead. Specifications are a guide and features may vary.

How far in advance do I need to book my tour?

If you had an amazing time on tour and wish to tip your guide, that is completely up to you. Tipping is not customary in Australia and is not at all expected.

Will I need additional money?

Travellers are advised to bring some cash, as ATMs and banks can be few and far between in the remote parts of the trip. It is handy to have some extra cash, as the tour does stop by local shops and cafes.

Are there any hidden fees I need to know about?

Our tour prices are completely transparent. There are no additional fees involved that are not included in the overall tour price shown. If you wish to do optional activities such as helicopter rides or wildlife safaris, then an extra cost may be needed. However, this will always be made clear at the time of your booking.

Real reviews from travellers who've done this tour, gathered from around the web and paraphrased.

How we collect and publish reviews

Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.

Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.

Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
