Crumpled mountain ranges, mirror-still lakes, and beaches that glow white under a Southern Ocean sun make Tasmania a dream for nature lovers. Add the freedom of a campervan, and you have an island made for slow travel, sunrise hikes, and starry-night campsites. 

Whether you start in Hobart or Launceston, this curated route links many of Tasmania’s celebrated national parks, swimming coves, rainforest walks, and wild coastlines into a rewarding road trip.

Roll your campervan out of Alice Springs and onto the Red Centre Way, and you step into a living gallery of ochre cliffs, sacred stories and outback skies. This classic Northern Territory route stitches together the West MacDonnell Ranges, Kings Canyon and Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, with waterholes for a midday dip, hikes that reveal ancient geology, markets and roadhouses for refuels, and night skies that feel close enough to touch. Here are the stops that make this journey unforgettable.

There is nothing quite like pulling up in a campervan, sliding open the door and watching your dog leap onto soft sand or shady grass. With around three in four Australian households sharing life with a pet, it is little wonder many road trippers prefer not to leave a four-legged mate behind. 

The good news is that Australia is full of scenic, pet-welcoming places that make travelling with a dog simple and rewarding. The curated spots below pair wow-factor landscapes with practical amenities and access to dog-friendly beaches, walks and downtime. Pack the lead, the long line and a stack of treats. Adventure is calling. As always, check current pet rules before you book, as site types, seasonal restrictions and beach access can all vary
