The outdoor lifestyle was born in Australia, a country and a continent with diverse ecosystems and more sunshine than most countries. Sleeping under the stars is the Aussie’s DNA and today’s generations love nothing better than hitching up the caravan and heading into the wilderness, and in this short article, we offer a few compelling reasons why Australians love sleeping under the stars.
- Independence – When you load up your off road caravan for a 5-day trip into the Outback, you are not relying on anyone; load up the extra water tanks and with your solar blanket, you are totally self-sufficient. You can go anywhere and stay as long as you like, especially with an off-road rig. An RV is perfect, so is the latest generation of camping trailers, in 10 minutes, you are set up!
- Affordable holidays – The cost of everything is rising, especially holiday accommodation, and with your own kitchen and all the mod cons, your holiday won’t break the bank! Check online for the cost of a beach resort holiday for a family of five; after the initial investment, camping costs next to nothing; you can escape with the family whenever you get a few days off work. No rent to pay, perhaps a small fee for a campsite berth for the night, free energy; all you pay for is your food and drink. The number of RVs and caravans on the roads is rising, as more families invest in a permanent holiday.
- The wonders of nature – Camping puts you right there; observe the wildlife, walk through forests and trails and you are free to move on if you fancy a change of environment. Take your DSLR camera and get some great photos of wildlife; the web is full of information to help you track down your favourite species, we have so many Down Under.

- Quality family time – There’s something about camping; it bonds the family when you cook and eat together and each has a role to keep the camp ship-shape. Our fondest memories are often those camping trips when dad taught us how to fish; make memories with your kids and pass on your wisdom and know-how; show them how to build a light a fire, go fishing and educate them about flora and fauna and species to avoid.
- Experience Australia – Whether you are from Sydney, Perth or Melbourne, you can visit any region of our huge land; plan a leisurely drive to the Northern Territories and you can easily find places to stop overnight. The Internet has you covered when it comes to sourcing campsites and Google Maps will make sure you never get lost.
