Planning to go on a campervan travel around Australia? Then it is worth noting that it’s a huge country, which means you will need a lot of time to explore it.
But time should be no biggie, as long as you have a campervan with you. After all, a campervan gives you all the freedom to drop by all beautiful places you see, spend the night in a certain spot you fell in love with, and even sleep in the comforts of your vehicle.
Now, where do you begin your Australian journey? Here are five of the best places we recommend:

1. The Great Ocean Road
The Great Ocean Road starts in the town of Torquay and ends in Allansford or vice versa. This 244KM route is touted as one of the world’s most popular coastal routes.
To experience the best of this place, you should probably spend three days. Here, you can go surfing in the famous Rip Curl in Torquay Surf City or look for koalas in the wild. If you get up early, you can also go on a little rainforest walk and enjoy the scent of the fragrant eucalyptus trees.

2. West Coast Adventure in Western Australia
So, where do you begin your West Coast adventure in WA? Up in the north where beautiful waterfalls are located? Or off the coast of Albany to watch whales pass by?
Well, all of these activities sound exciting. But one thing’s for sure. When you’re in the world’s second biggest state, you have to do your homework ahead so you don’t get lost.

3. Tropical North Queensland
Tropical North Queensland is a wonderful holiday destination that has nine distinct regions, each of them boasting their own unique charms and attractions.
For instance, while the popular Great Barrier Reef offers tourists and locals fun snorkeling activities, the Daintree has a surprisingly huge rainforest ecosystem that has gained a name for itself as the world’s oxygen factory.

4. Tasmania
Although Tasmania is quite far from mainland Australia, this region is reveling in isolation. It hosts fun and fab festivals, where sensational foods and drinks are served. When it comes to breathtaking views, rest assured that this place won’t disappoint.

5. The Red Centre
The Red Centre is home to some of Australia’s most sacred sites, such as Kata Tjuta and Uluru. In these places, you can watch how the sunrise and sunset change colours.

There is a certain level of freedom that one gets through free camping. You get to enjoy and explore the nature and also come closer to people who you meet during your camps. But it is also a fact that camping comes with a certain level of responsibility. You need to ensure that the surroundings are clean and that you are not trashing it. Ensure that you treat free camping as a privilege and act responsibly. Also, it would be good if you stay away from the wild animals. People tend to harass them by feeding them human food which is not good for them. Do not leave any garbage lying around as that could be dangerous for the animals as much as it would be for the environment. Content Source
