Discovering Australia’s Hidden Gems with the XTR Caravan

Australia has seen an uptick in caravanning. Spendings on caravan and camping trips hit an all-time high of $10.5 billion. We saw 28,031 new caravans built across the country in 2022. Exports of Australian-made caravans also increased by nearly 230%. 

This trend isn’t surprising because, for many of us, caravanning is a way of life. It’s about forging memories with loved ones, breathing in the fresh air of the wide-open spaces, and relishing our vast and diverse land. 

There is always something new to discover, some place you have never been – beautiful beaches, breathtaking mountain, the rugged outback, lush rainforests, national parks, amazing wildlife, and natural attractions like islands, craters, and lakes. No wonder many choose to explore the country instead of going overseas.

Beyond Brochures: Unveiling Australia’s Hidden Gems 

Let’s face it: The Whitsundays and Uluru are stunning, but there’s a whole other world of beauty waiting to be discovered, like these marvels:

Huskisson’s Golden Sands 

Explore the pure waterways of Huskisson on the NSW South Coast. Embrace the freedom of off-grid caravanning along the pristine coastline. Wake up to the sound of crashing waves and step out onto golden sand.  

Reconnect with nature and live unforgettable moments with loved ones. The XTR’s off-road capabilities can unveil secluded coves and hidden beaches, and its spacious interior and top-notch amenities can ensure comfort. 

Rare Wildlife in Eyre Peninsula 

Head off to the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia and unearth hidden coves, home of playful dolphins and majestic sea lions. Keep your eyes wide open for majestic whales passing in the distance, or spot the unique birdlife soaring overhead.  

Enjoy fresh seafood feasts, snorkel in waters teeming with colourful fish, and evenings sharing stories around a crackling campfire, listening to the calls of nocturnal wildlife. Blaze your own trail, like we did with our caravans, and adventure the wide-open spaces.  

With the XTR, tackling the legendary landmark becomes achievable, with increased ground clearance to navigate rugged terrain with confidence. The heavy-duty chassis also shrugs off any challenge the track throws your way.  

The Pinnacles 

Witness the otherworldly Pinnacles landscape in WA. The Stroll among the ancient limestone formations that rise like silent sentinels from the golden sands. Let the play of light and shadow over these natural sculptures transport you to a time when the Earth was young. 

The Majestic Murray River  

Cruise along the Murray River in Victoria and taste the tranquil riverside life like we recently did. Transform the riverbanks into your own backyard when you go to the off-grid campsites nestled there.   Listen to the gentle murmur of water. Cast a line for Murray cod from your private oasis. While embracing the serenity of nature, the XTR’s solar power capabilities can ensure you stay connected to modern comforts. 

Bremer Island: An Untouched Paradise 

Wake up to the gentle lapping of waves on a secluded island in NT’s remote Arafura Sea. It offers an untouched wilderness experience where you can view ancient Aboriginal rock art sites or soak up the serene white sand beaches. 

It’s a postcard-perfect paradise where the only footprints in the sand might be your own. It’s reachable only by private boat or by air, so you could bring your XTR caravan to Nhulunbuy (the closest town on the mainland) then go to the Manyimi beachfront campgrounds and set camp there. There you can arrange a day trip to Bremer Island by private boat for you and the family, then return to your caravan at the end of the day. 

These are just a taste of the countless Australian hidden gems that await you. The beauty of off-road travel is that you’re not confined to pre-defined routes – so chart your own course and make new experiences. Your luxury adventure starts here:
