Queensland Camping and Travel – Mission Beach

Mission beach is a great place to get tanned and indulge on beach opportunities, it is just one hour and 45 minutes south of Cairns or 138km. Best way to get there is a campervan. There, the Mission Beach Beachcomber Coconut Caravan Village has been a great camping facility for the many that have gone. It offers powered sites at $35 AUD (off peak). They have cabins too and more.

The base camp of Mission Beach Beachcomber Coconut Caravan Village is a natural opportunity that allows the adventure of river rafting tours on the Tully River. The Dunk Island is proud of the activities like of hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, and swimming.    These activities match with camping are such a great experience.
Visitors will be tempted to extend because of the friendly locals whom you can share beers, laughs, talks and all.
Bring all the goodies and all the hippies! A campervan hire for six people is a big help. You can park on the hill or there is Crystal Creek Caravan Park located south of the Mission beach. The Park is close to Paluma Rainforest Village that’s also a recommended local attraction. The views are relaxing and it’s the contrast of pollution and traffic. This experience can be wonderful if you make the most of it. Ivy Cottage is a famous cafĂ© in this town.
Queensland has great coastal views whether you drive north or south of Mission Beach you are sure to find unique discoveries. Camper travelers can also go to Uluru but that is 2,600 kilometers of drive away from the Mission beach. However with a campervan you don’t need to worry about distances.

This vehicle is available in manual and automatic transmission so it doesn't only look cool, but it features a smooth drive. You don't have to worry about hangin yourself anywhere because it comes with a toilet. And shower too! It allows a sleeping a capacity of 6 people so you can share all the fun.

The Frontier




The 6-Berth Frontier features an easy to drive vehicle, with its automatic transmission you can drive while having a soda and a song to sing. Its toilet and shower is located in the cubicle. You can enjoy the air-conditioning and heating whether you are in the living area or driver's cabin.But you have to plug the vehicle to a 240V to use the air-conditioning at the back. It would be a big use if you are in a campground with full hook-ups. So enjoy a frontier one day!



6-Berth Cheapa



This is designed for driver's who loves manual transmission, it can sleep 6 adults and yes it has a toilet and a shower too to keep everyone fresh while hopping the distant attractions. You will need to connect the vehicle to a 240V in order to enjoy the heating or air-conditioning in the rear cabin. The vehicle can consume about 14 Liters for every 100 kilometers traveled. It will depend on your use of airconditioning and the terrain.




6 Berth Euro Deluxe


Yes it looks good and inside is pleasing as well. Perfect for families and those who are very particular about the interior. Toilet and shower is also built in this vehicle located in the cubicle. Although this vehicle only comes with a manual transmission, it goes well with the road. The vehicle's air-conditioning in the rear cabin will operate when you plug it in a 240, more likely when you park in a campground on somewhere else with electrical hook up. Its fuel consumption also averages at 14 Litres for 100 kilometres. That will vary according to ow you use the inside features such as air-conditioning.



Maui Spirit 6



Or, you can also treat your vacation with this a cozy Maui Spirit. Yeah! Of course it comes with some nice interiors for a fine getaway. It an easy automatic vehicle so drive it while you sing your favorite anthem. Toilet and shower, sure suit yourself. And Im gonna say this again, plug the vehicle to a 240V plug in to use the rear cabin's air-conditioning. What more, enjoy 14 Litres fuel consumption per 100 kilometres.


What's commonly lovable about these vehicles is the convenience of preparing meals.. We'll yes you can't cook extremely in it unlike the aggrasiveness that you can do at home. Because for one thing it is a kitchen in a vehicle, but if you are looking out to cook some pasta, omelettes, steaks, vegetable salad, and well many more?? Definitely! As long as you know how to cook!

Exploring Australia on Highway One

Large sections of Highway One are shared with the Australian National Highway, though the two are not synonymous. Highway One covers almost most of the inhabited parts of Australia, it has the ability to take you to the busy districts, resorts, aggressive and calm seas, forests, deserts, valleys and other landscapes that make up Australia. Those embarking on a large travel in Australia often chose to take the route of Highway 1.

Most of Highway One's length are a major road of Australia's busy district, it ranges from an eight-lane super highway to a two-lane country road. Enjoy Highway One with a campervan hire. Plenty of national parks and attractions can be enjoyed along.

Although this is a major highway, its road can vary, one 635 km section between Normanton in North Queensland and Borroloola in the Northern Territory is unsealed, most restricted to four wheel drive vehicles and open only on dry season. Some stretches are very isolated, such as the Eyre Highway, which crosses the Nullarbor Plain, and the Great Northern Highway, which runs close to the north-western coastline.

Whichever season you choose to get your wheels rolling, Highway One will take you to many exploration and discoveries. Thus making your campervan hire holiday memorable not to mention that you can collect a bunch of good looking views for your memories so do bring your best camera.

Highway One is well signposted but if you are keeping a drive along the busy centers, its better that you maintain your campervan on the left side as what it is expected to be. When overtaking, carefully drive to the right side and maintain your left lane after overtaking. Avoid holidays because roads can be crowded, be aware of special occasion as well.

Campervan Holiday Benefits


Since campervans and motorhomes popped into the tourism industry, I kind of like the way it has advanced the world of traveling, their capacity is almost like freedom.

While the best for me is traveling through a campervan hire especially with a country like OZ, the idea of renting a campervan rocks! Some travelers would prefer hiring a regular automobile or jump into tour companies. That's doesn't sound adventurous enough does it? See Campervan hire to check out a full range of vehicles.

Hiring a regular automobile works for me too, but now, for the sense of having more exploration and unique experience. I'm loving the days on a campervan it helps a lot in many ways, it saves me so much money and the experience is just the way I like.
