Getting to Canberra…
Although there is an airport located in Canberra, Sydney is the busiest airport in Australia, and is frequently used as a gateway city into Australia’s East Coast. Being such an accessible destination, it is a great place to commence a road trip in Australia, and you’ll have plenty to keep you busy before you explore beyond.
The drive from Sydney to Canberra is only a few hours, making it perfect for either a weekend getaway, a stop en route to Melbourne, or as your dedicated holiday destination.
The most convenient way to journey through Australia, is by means of a campervan hire. One of the many advantages being that you get to experience the stunning, ever-changing landscapes, but also, you have the freedom to stop whenever you like to see sights and attractions discovered along the way. Having your accommodation and amenities already sorted, means nothing to worry about if you decide to spend an unplanned extra night here or there.

Where to stay in Canberra?
There are several campgrounds in close proximity to the city, however, the Alivio Tourist Park which is just 4kms outside of the city centre, has consistently great feedback. They also offer ensuite sites, in case your campervan rental does not have its own amenities, and all their sites are powered.
For other options in the area, the free smartphone app “Discovery Roadtrip”, is a great resource to search for campgrounds, attractions and restaurants.
