Amidst the unprecedented rainfall across regional Queensland there has never been a better time to explore your own backyard
Queensland’s continued love affair with the cara-fan lifestyle is holding strong with registrations reaching over a quarter of a million¹ in the sunshine state, still leading the charge against all other states in Australia.
With RV registrations spanning across Queenslanders aged 20 right through to 89 years of age, the caravanning lifestyle empowers individuals to be the pilots of their own journeys, offering unparalleled freedom and flexibility, and makes for a good excuse to escape the everyday grind.
In a year when Queensland has experienced unprecedented rainfall across the entire state, travellers have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit a transformed ‘green’ outback, adorned with wildflowers and teeming with birdlife. There is no better way to do this than with your own RV!
Jason Plant, CEO of Caravanning Queensland said now is the perfect time for those who might be considering taking the leap and entering the caravanning lifestyle with so many amazing destinations to visit in Queensland alone.
“We have witnessed higher than average rainfall across Queensland in the first quarter of the year with regional communities having faced significant challenges due to the ex-cyclone, rains and floods. However, these locations offer abundant and pristine travel-worthy locations, with breathtaking landscapes, untouched natural beauty, and unique ecosystems that are ready to welcome any traveller with open arms.
“By choosing to explore and stay at these destinations, not only can you experience a deeply satisfying sense of freedom and relaxation, visiting these communities provides a vital economic contribution to assist in rebuilding and ensure the spirit of adventure and resilience continues to thrive in Queensland,” Plant concludes.
