Kyogle Gardens Caravan Park reopens following upgrades

A South Australian couple chose a life on the road over a mortgage five years ago. They sold most of their possessions, quit their jobs, and left their rental to travel full-time in a campervan. They have covered approximately 116,000 kilometers across Australia, funding their travels through casual work and social media. Their weekly expenses for life on the road range from $500 to $1000.

A list of ten leading campervan hire companies in Tasmania has been compiled. The ranking includes operators offering services from budget to premium, including fully off-grid, solar-powered vans. Key criteria were fleet size, customer reviews, pricing, and service offerings.

An Australian repairman found a customer had inflated their caravan tires to 100 PSI, believing it was the normal pressure for all vehicles. The correct range for caravans is 50–65 PSI, and overinflation raises the risk of blowouts. The story went viral on TikTok, garnering 20,000 views in a day.

An Australian company has unveiled the Mundaka, a fully-equipped camper van. The van comes with solar panels, a water purification system, a refrigerator, and a bed for two, eliminating the need for any aftermarket additions.

Some remote workers are choosing a camper van lifestyle over traditional real estate investments. According to The Australian Financial Review, this approach allows them to maintain mobility and their financial nest egg. The trend has been noted in Australia since 2021.

Tasmania's Parks and Wildlife Service will introduce a new online booking system for campsites in 2026. The $1.5 million system aims to address 'ghost camping', where campers secure prime spots by setting up tents weeks or months in advance. Rangers will monitor campgrounds for compliance, though specific penalties were not confirmed.
