Many rainforest habitats are declared World Heritage sites. Therefore, they invite the interest of both seasoned hikers and campers. If you are embarking on this kind of journey for the first time, then you want to make sure your transport will support the experience. Most people hire campervans in Australia when journeying into rainforests, the Outback or other remote areas. Travelling in this fashion lends to the excitement of seeing the wilds of this yet untamed land.
A Beach Holiday – A Camper’s Paradise
While travelling in a campervan can either be perceived as paradise or with some trepidation by the less adventurous, it is generally considered as “fun” and a great way to see Australia by couples, singles or families. If you choose to remain on the paradisiacal side of the trail, you can also take adventures that will land you on beaches, such as those featured on the Gold Coast. Who would not like gathering around a campfire on a pristine white beach to enjoy a good Outback meal under the light of a full moon?
A Utilitarian Retreat
Naturally, if you choose this kind of course of travel, you will find, whether the travelling is a bit laborious or free-spirited, that you are glad that you made the decision to go. Again, while some of the travels may not be streamlined or easy, you will still embrace the utilitarianism and minimalistic lifestyle.
A Liberating Way to Dress
If you are a woman, you can pack light on a campervan trip. While more sophisticated adventures might lead you to pack enough clothes to fit a large size travel trunk, some women get by with a jumper, dress, a swimsuit, a pair of cut-offs and flip-flops during their sojourn away from mainstream society. In some ways, travelling in this manner, in a campervan can be liberating as you do not have to wake up wondering what you will be wearing that day.
Communing with Society
On your campervan travels, you may find days that it will rain. If you are using the van to kick back and relax while you wait out the shower, you won’t be afforded many entertainment options. If you can afford to do so, this is a time, if you are close to a bowling alley or cinema, to take a break from camping and commune with society for a while.
Use Tight-sealed Containers
You learn too while on the road, to keep the food containers that feature tight seals, lest you want to invite certain forms of small wildlife to feast on your camper fare. Field mice might like a tasty nibble of your muesli if you don’t take precautions and keep it well-contained.
One Christmas Travel Note
Finally, make sure you choose a campervan rental that highlights an AC that works well and blows cold air, especially if your planned travel date is around Christmas time. It is hard to sing carols when your AC is not working as it should.
