My daughter has travelled twice to Australia and both times bought a camper then resold it on her return.
There's places near the airport that cater for backpackers and travellers. Keep your eyes peeled and you may get a bargain.

i have packed a vango force ten, as this will stand up to storm and is a robust tent and easy to put up for moving on regular.

i am doing this on my own, so its a adventure for me.would like to people with 4wd for more offroad journeys, but i will have to get out on the road first.

looking into driving motorhomes back from the area holiday motorhomers leave them. they give a petol allowance and sometimes a generous amount of time to return, so i will see if it is viable when i get over there
