I’ve created these itineraries in partnership with The Touring Hub to give you ready-made, stress-free travel plans. From caravan parks to key highlights, every detail is taken care of — I make all the bookings, so all you need to do is drive, relax, and enjoy exploring Australia’s incredible backyard.
Each 30-day return journey is thoughtfully paced with an average of 2–3 nights in every town, giving you the perfect balance of travel and time to explore. And because no two travellers are the same, these itineraries are completely customizable — whether you’d like more time by the beach, extra stops in wine country, or detours into the outback.

Enjoy 2–3 nights at each stop, giving you time to swim in Noosa’s turquoise waters, stroll along the Gold Coast’s golden sands, and discover the lush rainforests of the Atherton Tablelands. With iconic highlights like the Great Barrier Reef, Fraser Island and the Whitsundays, this 30-day return journey is the perfect mix of coastal relaxation and outback adventure — all at a leisurely pace.
