Brisbane has one of the most temperate climates in Australia. Renting a campervan in Brisbane will be during good weather - no doubt about it! Rainfall is very low and temperatures during Summer (December to February) are between 21 - 29.8°C (69.8 - 85.6°F)
Renting during Autumn will see you enjoy temperatures between 15 - 25°C (59 - 77°F). Still pretty good for exploring Brisbane and surrounding Queensland.
Winter in Brisbane is usually dry and mild with temperatures between 11 - 21°C (51.8 - 69.8°F). Nightimes will be cool but your campervans and motorhomes all have in built heaters and if you hire a campervan with a shower then you will have hot showers too.
Spring in Brisbane is equally pleasant with temperatures between 15 - 25°C (59 - 77°F). Perfect for a road trip.
The first few days spent in your campervan is often spent finding places to put things and getting used to your new home on wheels. Spending the first few days in and around Brisbane while you familiarise yourself with your campervan or motorhome means you can see the top sights and attractions in your camper without having to drive too far.
Brisbane lends itself to about 3 days of exploration. Enjoy the many parks, galleries and wildlife parks.
Before you head off into the outback get to know some of the Australian Wildlife in the comfort of a wildlife park and get up close to koalas at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
Take a short drive to Moreton Island it takes just over an hour to get there. The roads are good and it's a good way to start to get used to driving your camper.
There are lots of small independent shops and cafes to while away a few hours too before you hit the road.
Definitely make Byron Bay a stop over if you are travelling along the East Coast of Australia. Campsites are close to the beautiful beaches, making your trip extra special.

If you can afford a newer camper then we recommend that you do. Campervans and Motorhomes and 4wd campers that are rented to explore Australia cover a lot of miles on each hire.
