Buy a car to get around Australia

If you are staying in Australia for a long time then it may be worth your while to buy a car and sell it again when you have made your way around the country. Check out notice boards at backpackers hostels and the local Saturday papers. In the bigger cities there are often designated backpacker car markets, organized by councils who got tired of backpackers hanging out on the streets taking up valuable car parking spaces. Be sure to get up to date with government regulations first, don't buy a car that you later can not get registered. People may try to sell you a car that still needs to pass an inspection before it can be registered, and tell you that "it only needs a few little things that won't cost much". Tell them that if that is the case why don't they do it themselves then, and you'll find that they won't. Some states in Australia require cars to have a roadworthy inspection every year, and some others only on change of ownership.

Around Australia by camper van

Australia is the perfect country to travel with a camper van! Wide open roads, countless beautiful spots to pull over and camp, the freedom to go where and when you want, it is no wonder so many Aussies on retirement buy themselves a mobile home and spend years going around the country.
Nothing beats finding your own camping spot in the wild, having a cold beer admiring a wildly coloured outback sunset and a dinner cooked on the campfire under the magnificent starry skies.
