Australia’s “Big Lap” – a bucket-list adventure for many – is the ultimate road trip. It spans over 14,500 kilometres and loops the entire continent, mostly following Highway 1 through coastal and outback towns. Doing the Big Lap in a caravan offers the freedom to travel at your own pace, explore hidden gems, and wake up to a new view every morning. But it takes planning – especially when it comes to budgeting, fuel, food, water, and equipment.
