Alex and I did a train trip with Journey Beyond on The Great Southern from Brisbane to Adelaide-it was awesome! (Chat about that experience later). I’ve had my eyes on South Australia for a long time and when I found out the train ended in Adelaide, I was stoked! This was the perfect opportunity to spend the long weekend exploring the beautiful south coast. We rented our campervan with Apollo who we also used on our trip in New Zealand. They are incredible and I highly recommend you book with them if you are planning a road trip!

Have you been wanting to hit the road for your own adventure but don’t know where to start? Maybe you’ve dreamed of road tripping up the east coast of Australia, or want to explore the picturesque vineyards of regional Victoria, but the thought of driving a big motorhome makes you a little nervous? We promise driving a motorhome is easier than it looks and is the perfect way to experience the freedom of the open road.

Melbourne and Sydney are two very different cities to start and end in, and the areas in between offer as much contrast. But this roadtrip is not about the cities, it’s about the rolling countryside, the wineries, the caves, the Australian wildlife you don’t often see, and some of the prettiest beaches and coastal towns in Australia.

Queenslanders love a road trip, try before you buy a caravan with Apollo's range of Caravans available from our Brisbane Branch.

Apollo is working with Tourism Australia to encourage everyone but particularly Australian's to "Holiday Here This Year". Regional areas rely on the tourism industry to survive and it is a great way to experience our own backyard and help rebuild communities affected by the drop in international tourists.
