Step 1/17: Australia - Sydney

About Sydney

After a 24hours flight, we headed directly to the Wicked Campervan depot of Sydney.It takes about an hour to get your Van ready, then off you go! Driving on the left can be a little difficult for a start but you will get used to it pretty fast. We chose to end your trip by a week in Sydney, so we did not take the time to visit the city and took directly the Road to Melbourne. We started by the Coast Road from Sydney to Jervis Bay, the road follows the exact shap of the cliffs and offers fantastic view points every couple of miles. It is a good way to start your trip, only 4 hours and 50 kilometers after your arrival in Sydney you get to see clear blue water, wild nature : this is Australia! Take your time on the Road to stop a couple of times, if you have the entire day, drive all the way to Jervis Day, it is a nice first stop to your trip ...

User's opinion
Good Way to travel and discover Australia! All of their Vans are decorated, more or less vulgare but always funny! The inside is pretty basic, but there is the minimum you will need : a bed pretty confortable, sheets, and a water tank! Australia is made for campervans, you can easily find some camping spots or simply camp anywhere!
