Australia Campervan Holiday in Victoria

Nestled in the southeastern corner of Australia, Victoria is a veritable playground for campervan travellers. With everything from winding coastal road trip routes like the Great Ocean Road to the artsy alleys of Melbourne, where you can meander through art galleries and feast on great food and historic sites, it’s a state that packs a punch!

With a landscape as diverse as a well-stocked cheese board—from the cool, temperate regions of the south to the sun-kissed northwestern plains—a campervan gives you the freedom to roam and the comfort of taking your home with you. Ready to experience this diverse state for yourself? This blog is your roadmap to exploring all the eclectic charms of Victoria and making the most out of your campervan adventure with your family. But first...

 

Why explore VIC by campervan

Picture this: you’re waking up to a different view every morning—maybe today it’s the surf breaking on a pristine beach, and tomorrow it’s the rolling hills of a vineyard. That’s the beauty of exploring Victoria in a campervan. Think of a campervan trip through Victoria as the ultimate freedom ticket.

Want to linger a little longer by that stunning beach you just found or explore the vibrant city centre of Melbourne? No problem. Feel like waking up to the breathtaking views of the Grampians? Go for it. Campervans offer the flexibility to change your itinerary on the fly, discovering hidden gems along the way.

An Australia campervan holiday through Victoria is also incredibly cost-effective, saving you money on accommodation and dining since you can cook and sleep in your mobile home. Moreover, for families, the comfort and convenience of having all your essentials with you, where your vehicle doubles as your accommodation, is invaluable. This freedom to roam makes campervanning in Victoria an unbeatable way to explore everything from the Great Ocean Road to Melbourne's live music and art scene.

 

Things to do in Victoria

Ready for an action-packed itinerary full of food, events, music, history, sports events and more? Victoria has everything, from breathtaking natural landscapes to a bustling city and thriving food and festival scene. Whether you’re into hitting the surf, sampling gourmet delights, soaking up culture or simply cosying up in a cafe watching people walking by, you’re in for a treat.

You could start your day with a sunrise walk in Wilson’s Promontory, one of the southernmost points of the Australian mainland known for its stunning bushland and sea views, and end with a vibrant evening exploring Melbourne’s eclectic food markets.

Don’t miss the Queen Victoria Market, known for its high-quality fresh produce. You can also catch a performance at one of Melbourne’s renowned concert halls or simply enjoy a little live music at a local pub. The coastal lines are perfect for beach adventures, while the inner regions offer lush vineyards and breweries, particularly in areas like the Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula.

The state is also rich in arts and culture, especially in Melbourne, Australia’s cultural capital, where you can dive into the arts scene, visit art galleries, or catch a live show. What's more, this state is the home of the largest colonies of fairy penguins in the world! Phillip Island has become famous for its penguin parade tour, where you can see these little penguins return ashore at sunset. With a campervan, each of these experiences is just a drive away.

The best way to explore Noosa

Is Noosa in Australia worth visiting? It sure is and the best way to visit and explore Noosa is by road trip.

1. Noosa Main Beach

Arguably, the most well-known Noosa attraction is Noosa Main Beach – and for good reason! One of the best beaches in Queensland and one of the top things to do in Noosa Heads, a day at Noosa Main Beach will instantly give you that ‘I’m on holiday’ feeling.

Those looking to swim in Noosa waters will be pleased to know that Noosa Main Beach is fantastic for year-round swimming and it is patrolled every day of the year. Enjoy splashing in the waves or for those who don’t want to swim at Noosa Main Beach, enjoy people-watching or spotting dolphins jumping through the nearby waves.

 

2. Noosa National Park

One of those ‘must do’ things to do in Noosa is the Noosa National Park. Situated next to Noosa Heads, at Noosa National Park you can spend the day exploring the scenic walking trails that wind through the lush greenery this park is known for. Bring your camera on this popular Noosa activity as you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the Noosa coastline (especially from the Instagram famous Noosa Fairy Pools and Hell’s Gate).

While exploring Noosa National Park be sure to also keep your eyes out for wildlife, including turtles, whales, dolphins, koalas, and kookaburras which are often spotted by those exploring the area.

 

3. Hastings Street

One of the most popular things to do in Noosa Heads is indulge in shopping, dining and entertainment on Hastings Street. This bustling Noosa street is lined with boutique shops and chic cafes. Lucky for you, Apollo motorhomes and campers come with considerable storage space, so after you’ve worked your way through Hasting Street, you’ll have plenty of room for whatever shopping escapades this famous street has taken you on.
 

4. Noosa Everglades

An absolute must do on your Noosa road trip is the Noosa Everglades. Incredible not just for its serene beauty or untouched wilderness, the Noosa Everglades is even more special once you learn there are only two everglades systems on earth (and the other one is pretty far away in Florida, USA!). Include an everglades Noosa tour to your Noosa travel itinerary and discover the home of more than 40% of Australia’s bird species as you glide through the tea tree infused “river of mirrors.” 

 

5. Sunset kayaking

Another popular Noosa activity is sunset kayaking down the beautiful Noosa River. Join a Noosa kayak tour, where you’ll paddle along the tranquil waters as golden hues light up the spectacular natural environment around you. Whether you’re an experienced kayaker or doing so for the first time, be sure to time your Noosa road trip with either a Friday or Saturday afternoon to take advantage of this incredible experience.

 

6. Noosa Farmers Market

If you’re visiting Noosa on a Sunday, make sure you include the Noosa Farmers Market into your travel itinerary. Wander through the market stalls, sampling fresh local produce, gourmet delights and admiring the artisanal crafts along the way. Use this visit as a chance to stock up on ingredients or tasty treats to enjoy for the rest of your Noosa road trip.

 

7. Stand-up paddleboarding

A popular thing to do in Noosa, stand-up paddleboarding is a fun Noosa activity whether you’re pro or have never paddle-boarded in your life. Situated on the Noosa River, beginners can take stand-up paddleboarding lessons, pros can enjoy daily or hourly board hire and those ready for adventure can partake in the epic stand-up paddleboarding tours that explore the mangroves and the Noosa River shoreline. 

 

8. Noosa Heads Coastal Walk 

A part of the earlier mentioned Noosa National Park, the Noosa Heads Coastal Walk is not to be missed if you’re active and looking for what to do in Noosa. Lace up your walking shoes and allow 4 hours for this 10.8km return walk. On the way you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Noosa coastline and Pacific Ocean, plus you’re likely to spot a number of Australian wildlife as well.

9. Go whale watching

Embark on a thrilling whale watching adventure in the pristine waters off the coast of Noosa. Whale watching season is between July and October so if your road trip falls within the season, make sure you join a Noosa whale watching tour. One for the lifelong memories and an epic activity to include in your travel itinerary, on a Noosa whale watching tour you’ll witness majestic humpback whales breaching and playing as they migrate along the Australian coastline.

 

10. Noosa Botanic Gardens

Take to the Noosa hinterlands with a visit to the Noosa Botanic Gardens. Just a short drive from the Noosa hinterland town of Cooroy, the Noosa Botanic Gardens are a fantastic Noosa attraction.

Enjoy peace and tranquillity in the lush gardens as you wander through the exotic plants and serene waterways. We recommend bringing food and a picnic blanket with you as there are a number of peaceful picnic spots to take advantage of when visiting the gardens.
