PREPARATIONS

I have rented from Apollo in the past and it has always been a good experience. Last time I chose the Apollo Trailfinder. The disadvantage of this 4WD is that it has become heavy due to all the modifications and installations and the fact that it was equipped with relatively narrow tires did not make driving through very loose sand any easier. Another option is a 4WD camper from RedSands. These 4WD campers are somewhat comparable to Apollo's Overlander, except that a Rooftop tent is also used here. These 4WDs are supplied with 2 spare wheels as standard, which makes them attractive, especially for the Gibb River Road and all other 4WD tracks. In any case, they look nice, but are slightly more expensive than those from Apollo.

The start of my journey, apart from the flight(s), starts in Darwin. I know from experience that it is nice to acclimatize for one or two days before leaving for the first part of the trip.

It Mirambeena Resort from Travel Lodge has always been a good choice in the past. It is within walking distance of the center of Darwin, is quiet and accessible by shuttle from the airport.

At the end of the trip, take a rest on the beach at the Great Barrier Reef.

A travel agent recommended this resort to me as the ideal place to end your trip in Australia. Here you can relax and prepare for the return journey that will inevitably come again. Paradise on the Beach is a resort in Palm Cove, a coastal town about 25 kilometers north of Cairns.

It has a swimming pool and is located right on the beach and within walking distance of the jetty where a lot of fishing takes place during the day.
