Your Ultimate Caravan Adventure: Australia’s Must-Visit Destinations for 2026 with Kui Parks
A new year brings with it the promise of open roads, early morning coffees outside the van, and the simple joy of waking up somewhere new. Caravan travel isn’t just about getting from one place to another, it’s about freedom, connection and the stories you collect along the way.
In 2026, Australians are choosing journeys that invite them to slow down, travel further and spend more time in places that truly leave a mark. From tropical coastlines and red desert heartlands to rugged west coast adventures and relaxed seaside escapes, seven destinations stand out as must-visit experiences. With Kui Parks locations along the way, these journeys are made even more memorable.
1. Far North Queensland, QLD
There’s something about Far North Queensland that makes you breathe a little deeper. Warm air, lush rainforest and the rhythm of the tropics create a sense of calm that’s hard to leave behind.
Spend your days snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef, wandering beneath ancient canopies in the Daintree Rainforest or chasing waterfalls hidden just off the highway. Stay at a Kui Parks location and take your time — this is a place best enjoyed slowly. Connect with the world’s oldest continuing cultures through local Aboriginal experiences and stories that bring the landscape to life. Far North Queensland isn’t just a destination — it’s a feeling that stays with you long after the road leads south.

Discover Longreach’s aviation and pastoral stories, step into the legend of Waltzing Matilda in Winton, and marvel at natural wonders like the Undara Lava Tubes.
