CARAVANNING AUSTRALIA IS
SO CHEAP WE CAN SEE IT ALL IN A
12-MONTH LAP
Budgeting is as individual a topic as
someone’s preference to music – everyone has
their own ideas about what they’ll need to
cover any ongoing bills they have and to keep
their vehicle fuelled and fridge stocked. Australia really is a massive country, with
some destinations having large distances of
nothingness between them. We have met
people who have been living the nomadic
lifestyle for over a decade and still haven’t
seen everything or been everywhere!
The one common misconception, however, is
that people thought they would spend less
on the road than they have – particularly with
some blogs posting about how their costs are
around $6 a day for everything – food and fuel
included.
The reality for a lot of people is that if you
want to do some of the touristy activities,
eat the occasional meal at the local pub, and
stay in powered caravan sites, your costs will
increase.
With cyclonic weather, monsoonal rains,
snow, tropical summers and other seasonal
conditions taking a front seat in what you will
and won’t be able to see and do in particular
locations, it is impossible to navigate the
country in a 12-month period and do it all.
Prepare to miss out at times.
We’ve heard a lot of people base their travels
on $1000 per week. Some do it cheaper, and
some still spend a grand in a matter of days.
Home-schooling takes plenty of dedication.
