Known for its laidback and friendly culture, Brisbane is quickly becoming one of Australia’s most popular cities. With the famous Gold Coast only an hour’s drive south, and the Great Barrier Reef to the North Brisbane is the perfect location to pick up your vehicle and start your road trip along Australia’s east coast.

Before you leave, climb to the top of the Story Bridge for 360-degree views of the city before exploring Brisbane’s booming craft beer scene and bustling café culture. Head to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary for a cuddle with a koala or take a ferry ride up the river.

When you’re ready to explore further jump in your car and head down to the Gold Coast for world class beaches and a vibrant nightlife. Take a surfing lesson at Surfers Paradise or hold on as you ride the rollercoasters at one the Gold Coast’s famous theme parks.

However you choose to explore Australia’s east coast the friendly team at our Apollo Brisbane branch will be there to help you get on the road.

First time in a campervan? We recommend spending your first night close by at the Brisbane Holiday Village so you can get to know your new home on wheels and how to use it while still in close proximity to the branch.
