Outback Motoring

Australia’s size and remoteness deter many people from exploring it. However, properly set up and equipped, and armed with common sense and a little background knowledge, every intending traveller can explore the country’s huge open space.

If you intend travelling in the outback, planning ahead is vital, for it is possible to travel in some sections of the Australian outback and not see another vehicle or person for several days. It is possible to travel in some areas of the outback in a 2WD vehicle, but it is safer and much more practical to do so in a 4×4 vehicle suited to off-road conditions.

Since driving conditions in the outback vary greatly, you should always consider the right 4×4 hire for your travel. 4×4 rental are the best when it comes to soft sand, bulldust and mud, and crossing a creek of stream.

Critical rules that you need to pay attention when you are motoring in the outback:

  • Check intended 4×4 routes carefully
  • Check the best time of year to travel
  • Check your load; keep it to a minimum
  • Check ahead of local road conditions, weather forecasts and fuel availability
  • Check that you have essential supplies: water, food and fuel
  • Don’t forget your detailed maps
  • Respect Aboriginal sacred and cultural sites, and heritage buildings and pioneer relics
  • Protect native flora and fauna; take photographs not specimens
  • Follow restrictions on the use

Planning Ahead is Important!

There is so much to of Australia to see and so many ways to see it. Today, even the most remote sections of this vast continent are accessible, particularly to 4×4 vehicles designed for use on the bush tracks and unmade roads.

For some, exploring Australia will mean touring the made highways and staying in motels. Others will tow their accommodation with them on a 4×4 camper. Others will opt for a mobile home with sleeping and cooking facilities, and yet other group will choose to be the true adventurers, will load a tent on top of the 4×4 hire and go bush. In all cases, some careful planning will enhance the journey immeasurably.

As a traveller, you need to plan ahead:

  • Find advance information on the 4×4 area you are going to explore
  • When to go; find the best time to explore in your 4×4
  • Plan which way to go; plan your 4×4 route and itineraries
  • Locate where you would like to stay and campout in your 4wd
  • Find the right 4×4 hire that really suits your budget
  • When you book your 4×4, make sure you are covered with the right insurance

You can travel from Christchurch to Queenstown to discover the beauty of Franz Josef glacier and experience Milford Sound and enjoy waterfalls, lush greenery and stunning nature. If you are in Queenstown, you can enjoy the magnificent, turquoise Lake Wakatipu, or you could drive and pass through barren, high mountains that glimmers with snow in winter and looks inviting for a hike in the summer. Enjoy the night life in this this small, yet busy town. There are so much to see and do in Queenstown, and the best getting around is on a campervan. Drive as you please, sleep under the sky and save money on your accommodation.

If you are starting your campervan holiday from Auckland, there are shit loads of things you can do; hiking through scenic regional parks and trekking up volcanoes for panoramic views of the city, sailing, jet boating and island-hopping in the Hauraki Gulf, head up to colonial towns, or just sit back and enjoy wineries with a view.
