If you’ve based yourself in Brisbane, we wouldn’t blame you if you start getting itchy feet for a bit of city-fringe exploration. But with so many options and so little time, you want destinations that pack a punch in both the sight and taste departments. Luckily, we’ve got your back with this guide to the 10 best foodie experiences all within an hour’s drive from Brisbane, so you can (literally) feast on something new without venturing too far from the city. We’re talking everything from rainforest-dwelling wooden cafes to legitimate farmers markets on a real working farm, to coffee overlooking the rolling green hills of the Toowoomba plateau. All you have to do is hop in your camper and get out of town.

From the cruisy, surfer vibes of Brisbane, to the fast-paced hustle of Australia’s big smoke, Sydney, there’s way more than just gorgeous coastlines to check out on this 10 hour drive. 10 hours non-stop that is. We recommend you take your time over a week or so to really enjoy this iconic drive. The transition in culture along the way is strikingly tangible, and that quintessential Aussie drawl varies as you meander along the coast. Fire up your camper engine and get out your cork hats, this is one great way to experience true blue Aussie hospitality in all its forms.

With its mammoth coastline and tropical waters, Australia is one of the best places for whales on their migration from their southerly base. In fact, on their journey northwards, those taking an easterly route tend to stay within five kilometres from Australian shores in order to miss the East Australian Current.

More than 45 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises can be seen from Australia’s coastline, with over half of the world’s whales inhabiting our seas.

Most commonly spotted are humpback and southern right whales, but orcas, minke and blue whales also splash and glide through Australia’s seas. Unsurprisingly, this makes it one of the best countries in the world for whale watching. During their migration season, you can often see mothers and calves playing, humpbacks breaching and southern right whales spy hopping all for free, from safe headlands and public boardwalks.

This trip will take you and your faithful camper from Byron Bay up through Queensland to the Whitsunday Islands, and past a whole lot of natural marvel in between. So grab your binoculars, some comfy shoes, a bottle of water, a hat and something to munch on, then head to Byron Bay.
