Whilst the trip is predominantly camping there is a mixture of accomodation on the trip. Nights are split between bush camps, caravan parks, hostels and glamping. This allows you to experience a little bit of everything. We tow a custom built camping trailer with a kitchen, fridge, games, tents, sleeping bags and mattresses. All you need to bring is yourself, a sense of adventure and the desire to see the real Australia!
