CENTRAL AUSTRALIAN TOURISM INCENTIVES

STREET TALK • Malcolm solves a starting problem and ponders the future.

TWO PEOPLE, ONE CARAVAN • Living together in a caravan means there is nowhere to hide, only one door to slam and a very good chance your partner is standing directly in front of the cupboard you need.

HOW EVS WILL ACTUALLY HELP CARAVANNING — JUST NOT YET • I’ll declare my bias early: I love EV’s

WHY WALKING THROUGH THE DOOR STILL MATTERS • Online research has changed caravan buying, but there’s still no substitute for visiting a trusted local dealership.

THE MURTOA STICK SHED • The small town of Murtoa, in Victoria’s Wimmera Mallee grain growing region, 282km northwest of Melbourne, might not at first glance seem like a must-visit destination, until you hear about the Murtoa No. 1 Grain Store — aka Murtoa Stick Shed.

NEW TO CARAVANNING? 9TIPS TO GET STARTED • A towing course is a great way to begin your caravanning lifestyle and will help build your confidence on the road. Safely towing the van is imperative, but these suggestions — learned through hard experience — might make living with it more enjoyable and less stressful.

TAKE IT OFFLINE • This South Australian company builds high-end camper trailers and hybrid caravans from its factory in Elizabeth. We dig into where they came from and where they are heading.

A COFFS COAST STAPLE • From a small carvan dealership to a specialist in offroad vans, Caravans Coffs Coast has grown alongside the caravanning industry over the past 18 years.

SOUTHERN EXPOSURE • Vineyards, beaches, wilderness and caves — there’s plenty to discover along the Southern Ocean Drive.

EXPLORING K’GARI (FRASER ISLAND) • K’gari is a place where the adventure starts on the beach but doesn’t end there.

DUST CORRUGATIONS AND WATERFALLS • It’s a long way to the top with a lot of rock and roll, as Acca Dacca warned us all those years ago. The road to Cape York isn’t for the fainthearted, but for the well- prepared, it’s an adventure worth the effort.

SEEING THE FUTURE • Chock full of innovative design ideas and with a reliable, robust build, the Vision 14 is an inspired choice for distant offroad destinations.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK • Trakmaster’s Explorer PT combines offroad credentials with a narrow and low profile (even for a pop-top) to deliver superior track access.

LIGHTWEIGHT TOURING WITHOUT THE PRICE TAG • Avan is one of our major caravan and motorhome builders and the Aspire 555 might suit couples looking for a simple, easy-to-tow tourer.

BUILT AROUND ADVENTURE • Designed around adventure rather than accommodation, the Stockman Trekka rethinks what a premium hybrid can be by putting lifestyle, storage and off-grid capability first.

LIGHT WORK • Lightweight, easy to tow and surprisingly roomy inside, the 17th...
