Theres heaps to do.

Grab yerself a reliable camper van and go for a tour up the east coast is always a good idea... then get the ferry to Tasmania.

Do you want beaches, babes and cheap thrills or nature walks, gum trees and echidnas?

 

[Donald Mallard]

theres plenty to do man ,
but its a big country ,
so expect to do some travelling ,

with a country that extends from deep in the tropics to the far southern oceans ,
theres always something going on ...

Don't go to Western Australia because it's too far to go and there is nothing special about the place; Adelaide is boring as shit, the only good thing is there is lots of good pot around, stick to Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
Don't go to Tasmania, there is nothing there but national parks and hillbillies (they are all inbred).
I wouldn't bother going to Uluru, it's such a long drive just to look at a rock.
Being a traveller you will find it hard to find pot here, except in Adelaide. Street sellers aren't very common in the big cities; they used to have cafes in Sydney where you could go in and buy pot and smoke it there but they have all been closed.
If you go to Nimbin you will find pot; or more likely it will find you.

Go upto NT mate and spend a week camping in Kakadu National Park... beautiful place with lots to keep you entertained...

 

[High Country]

The whole freaking place is great.

Queensland - where rainforest touches the Great Barrier Reef.

Northern Territory - the crocodile filled lagoons of Kakadu and inland the deserts.

Western Australia - the Kimberley, Ningaloo, Margaret River for a surf.

South Australia - vineyards, great fishing and the William Creek pub.

New South Wales - beaches, the madness of Sydney, the Blue Mountains.

Tasmania - trout fishing, pristine air and water, the majestic Huon pine rainforests of the Franklin river.

Victoria - the High Country of course.

And one more thing...hot women.

Whenever I go overseas I always look forward to the trip home.

is it legal to go fishing without a license?
Im landing in Queensland and i do want to hire a camper
My favourite at the moment is Mackay looks sooo good. I heard surfers paradise is a cheap copy of miami, is this true ?
Another ideas are welcome

In most places you need a fishing licence, maybe all, but I have never had one and no-one has ever asked me for one.
Mainly in my experience they are worried about people catching crayfish, but that's mainly on the west coast.
Surfers is not that interesting, no culture, just very touristy and overpriced.
I have been to Mackay a long time ago, just remember if you are landing in Brisbane it's a long drive up there, but then you will probably find it interesting.
Forget about swimming there though; the water is full of box jellyfish which are poisonous.
Personally if you are starting in Brisbane then I would head south not north but then I suppose it depends on what you want to see and do.
Have fun anyways.

 

[Shizzlenator]

hey thanks for that advice.
But why should i go down south ? i thought its much colder then in the north ?
Mackay is only 950km away from brisbane and i got a month time
This will be such a great roadtrip

thanks again all of you

 

[Still Invisible]

Well depends if you are going to be here in the winter or autumn.
It doesn't get that cold in Australia, around Sydney for example the average winter daytime temperature is about 17C. It does get colder as you go inland.
Australia is pretty unpopulated and once you get out of the major cities the towns are few and far between, especially inland and north.
There wont be much to see between Brisbane and Mackay but if you like the idea of driving 10 hours and seeing nothing much then do it.
If you really want to get a sense of how vast and empty this country is then try driving from east to west. Once you get away from the coast a bit there is nothing out there, just vast paddocks or bush or vast plains of saltbush as far as the eye can see.
Depends if you want to see civilisation and man made things or wilderness I suppose.

 

[Shizzlenator]

[High Country]

You must have a lot of faith in people giving out a no. like that.

Stay safe.

Better just to meet people along the journey and see what happens.

 

[High Country]
