Australia is bursting with beautiful islands, but did you know you can take your caravan to some of them?
Imagine waking up to the sound of waves, setting up camp with ocean views and exploring island life – all with your trusty caravan in tow.
From Bruny Island’s rugged beauty to the sandy shores of K’Gari, there are plenty of escapes waiting for you.
A couple of tips though – plan ahead (island parks can fill up quickly, so book your ferry and camping spots in advance), check the vehicle requirements (some islands have specific vehicle/caravan requirements due to the rugged terrain), pack wisely (some islands have limited resources so bring essential supplies including food, water and fuel) and lastly, respect the environment (follow local guidelines to protect the flora and fauna).
