Australia is the largest island in the world and its perimeter is 36,735 kilometers. You will therefore have to calculate your itinerary well according to the duration of your stay. Endless roads, unusual landscapes, deserted beaches and omnipresent wildlife:creating your road trip in Australia becomes a real difficult choice. You will need to make a list of your priorities. Between Kangaroo Island, the Australian desert or Western Australia, the possibilities are endless. Find out in travel guides and blogs to build a circuit according to your desires.
You will not be surprised to learn that Australia is one of the most expensive countries in the world. You will have to count on average 60 euros per day and per person to sleep, eat and move around. If gasoline costs almost nothing compared to France, it is much more expensive in the desert than in the cities. However, you can save money by camping and buying your own food rather than going to a restaurant every day.
The choice of your vehicle will be made according to the comfort sought and your budget. The van is bulky, but allows you to sleep inside. The car is more economical, but you will have to sleep in a tent. If you dream of being able to camp anywhere in nature and play it "Into the Wild", you will have to put aside your fantasy. Wild camping is prohibited in Australia. You must sleep in the camping areas listed on the Australian Campsites website. Some are free, others are paid. If you are going on a road trip for a long time, you can consider buying a van or a car. The procedures are simple, even for foreigners. Whichever option you choose, try to travel green and respect the environment.
