Read on for a closer look at the different tools included in your Motorhome Plus (Darwin to Perth) package!
1. Motorhome Plus (Darwin to Perth): Region and Attraction Summary
Researching even one small town can take AGES if you start from scratch. From tour companies, museums, cafes and even the local council doing the ‘big sell’ on what they have on offer for visitors! How do you know which ones are worthy of a stop? Motorhome Plus (Darwin to Perth) gives you a high-level overview of each region, and includes all best experiences and must-sees. Once you have this as a base, all you need to do is add a little extra time for exploring!
At the beginning of each of the five Region and Attraction Summaries, you will find a map and a table. These list all the attractions and campsites mentioned. Each uniquely numbered on the map, in the table, and within the information summary.

To make things easy for you, we’ve shown some of our favourite campsites, with links to book them easily.
Our favourite campsites are referenced in two separate places. The first is in a table at the beginning of every Region and Attraction Summary. The second in the dedicated Our Favourite Campsite section. This section includes full details of all the caravan parks, national park campgrounds and free/low-cost camps that we recommend.

Motorhome Plus (Darwin to Perth): Journey Planner Spreadsheet
If you have ever embarked on a big motorhome road trip, you will already know the value of a well-thought out, well-designed and easy-to-use planning tool. Call us ‘old school’ but despite there being apps aplenty out there claiming to be the cat’s pyjamas, we are yet to find one that stacks up against the humble spreadsheet… because when it comes down to it, there is really no need for bells and whistles; just a simple, clear and concise way to capture information and plan your journey.
This was the concept behind our easy-to-use and fully editable Journey Planner spreadsheet. We now include this as part of our Motorhome Plus package. It’s the perfect place to capture all the information for your trip. With all the major categories set up ready for you to add your own data and make it your own.
Plus, to give you even more of a head-start, your Journey Planner comes pre-populated a basic 32 day plan. Included are suggestions where it would be a good to add extra days and need for rest days along the route.
From here, you will then be able to book key campsites and activities prior to departure. While this is a remote route, it is busy, and we strongly suggest booking as much as you can if you specifically know where you want to stay on what day, to avoid disappointment. This is also true with any activities you wish to book too.
If you are planning on hiring a campervan on the Darwin to Perth route, this is a game changer.
Motorhome Plus. Making planning easier.
