Yes I went on that the last time I almost persuaded my wife, but it seem a bit low volume, they seemed more interested in the kit than the travel. One of the things Im after is an aussie P4N, S4S etc, we used the rankers app in NZ but seems it only does WAiirc there is a forum called Grey Nomad , there was when I lived over there. If you want to maximize what you can see think about flying between major centres, otherwise you can spend most of your time driving thru MOBA![]()
To answer your question, there are certainly groups and apps in Australia that will be useful and helpful. On a visit back to Australia last month, we hired a little campervan (my son and I) and made a lads' trip up the East coast while my wife stayed visiting her elderly mum North of Sydney. The apps we used were;Im in the early stages of planning an Austrlia trip, wondering if there are any Australia based forums like this to help with info?
When we went in 2018, we were told that they were clamping down hard on free camping, but also hire companies said no off road, we only did a little, mainly just to get to viewpoints etc, the other thing to bear in mind, that if you are out in the country, mobile phone reception stops about 20k out if town, so you are on your own if you brake down, make sure you have plenty of water.We spent six months travelling around Australia in 2006 in a motorhome. I know it's a long time ago and it was before apps were in regular use but we found a particularly useful book was Camps Australia Wide.
I see it's now available in app form, so you might like to check it out. www.campsaustraliawide.com/app/
We rarely stayed in caravan parks. Wild camping (or freedom camping) is so easy and safe. Don't make the mistake we did. We gathered sticks to use on the barbecue and managed to pick up a Huntsman spider that scared the living daylights out of us when it dropped from the overhead locker and landed in the bed. Don't tell me they're harmless. It certainly didn't look it.
Be aware that a lot of the hire companies do not allow you to drive on dirt roads and they check under the vans for bull dust. It's almost inevitable that you will gather dust underneath because you have to go off the tar seal when a massive road train is coming straight at you.
