Popular Attractions Along the Way

Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains are located west of Sydney in NSW, Australia. The mountains, which are part of a national park, are located in an area offering many outdoor activities.

There are numerous hiking trails in the area, with some offering the opportunity to see the famous Three Sisters, an unusual rock formation that is considered a popular tourist attraction.

Queen Street Mall

"Opening in 1982 – just in time for the Commonwealth Games that year – Queen Street Mall is Brisbane’s premier shopping lifestyle precinct. More than 500 retailers line the 500-metre mall, including the flagship stores of many major brands.

The Mall includes 7 shopping centres, heritage-listed arcades, numerous eateries, a bowling alley, and a cinema."

Hunter Valley

Located north of Sydney, the Hunter Valley is a famous wine region in Australia. The region is home to many outdoor activities, including golf courses, cycle tracks and hiking trails. Many of the wineries in the area offer guided tours as well as tastings.

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

Set right on the Brisbane River, Lone Pine is about 12 km from Brisbane’s CBD and is the oldest and largest koala sanctuary in Australia. Over 100 koalas make their home at Lone Pine, as well as Tasmanian Devils, snakes, echidnas, wombats, platypuses, and dingoes.

Kangaroos, wallabies, and emus roam freely and there are opportunities to get up close, take a photo, and feed certain animals. (Koala holding/cuddling experiences ceased from 1 July 2024; Lone Pine instead offers up-close koala experiences.) Koala talks are held twice daily and there are also several shows with lorikeets, raptors, sheep dogs, and more.

Cultural Precinct/South Bank

A fixture on Brisbane’s South Bank, just across the Brisbane River from the CBD, the Brisbane Cultural Precinct is comprised of the Queensland Cultural Centre (QCC) as well as other museums, eateries, gardens, and pedestrian areas. The cultural centre, which contains the Queensland Art Gallery, Queensland Museum, Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), the State Library, and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, is an architecturally significant example of 1970’s modernism, and several of its buildings are Heritage-listed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any one-way rental fees?

Campervan rental companies may charge a one-way rental fee. If there is such a fee we will include it in the rental price listed in our comparison tool.

Can I travel in the opposite direction - from Brisbane to Sydney?

Yes - simply use the search tool at the top of this page to check availability.

Where can I park overnight in Sydney?

It’s recommended you stay in a holiday park or designated campsite. Overnight camping/sleeping in vehicles in Sydney and other metropolitan areas is often restricted by local rules and signage, so check local conditions and use designated camping areas. Most caravan parks are located away from the city centre.

Some popular campsites include: NRMA Lakeside Holiday Park, Cattai National Park Campground and Patonga Camping Ground.

If you wish to explore Sydney CBD and other city attractions like Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Bondi Beach or the Opera House, plan ahead. It's best to avoid peak-hour traffic and to plan where to park in advance, especially if you're in a large motorhome.

Can I pick up a campervan rental around the Northern Beaches?

Currently, all the major motorhome rental brands have their Sydney branch close to Sydney Airport, on the southside.

Do I have to pay a bond (security deposit) when renting my vehicle?

When renting a vehicle, it is standard to be charged a bond (security deposit), also known as ‘excess’, which is the amount the renter is liable to cover in the event of an accident or damage to the vehicle.

The bond amount fluctuates based on the insurance package selected at the time of rental and is charged and debited on the renters’ credit or debit card.
