Tried and tested ways Aussie travellers cut costs on the road.
Drive at 90 km/h — cuts fuel use 20%+ when towing. Use PetrolSpy or FuelCheck. Fill up in major towns before remote stretches where prices spike 40–80c/L.
WikiCamps and Campermate find free camps nationwide. Aim for 60–70% free camping. CMCA membership gives access to hundreds of free member sites.
Stock up at Aldi or Costco in major cities. Local roadside stalls have cheap fresh produce. Batch cook and freeze meals to cut dining out temptation.
Budget $5,000–$10,000 for repairs on a full lap. Service your rig before departure. Carry spare bearings, fuses and fan belts. Learn basic roadside repairs.
Starlink (~$140/month) beats expensive Telstra data add-ons remotely. Use a dual-SIM phone with Telstra + Optus for the best Australia-wide coverage.
Buy state annual passes — NSW Annual Pass (~$65) pays off fast. QLD and WA have similar passes. Some states have free entry to many parks.
Limit dining out to 2–3 nights per week. Country RSL clubs and bowls clubs serve cheap, quality meals. Pub counter meals in outback towns are great value.
A quality solar setup ($2,000–$4,000) pays for itself in 3–4 months by eliminating powered site fees. Pair with a lithium battery for full off-grid capability.
ING and UP Bank cards refund ATM fees and have no international transaction fees. Keep $500–$1,000 cash — remote areas often have unreliable EFTPOS.
Find every charging station along your route across Australia — updated in real time.
We'll suggest recharge points every ~75% of your range.
Add as many stops as you like, separated by commas — we'll show chargers near each one.

Search your full route and plan charging stops every 150–250km depending on your EV's range.
PlugShare, ABRP (A Better Route Planner) and Chargefox are the best apps for live charger status in Australia.
Charging infrastructure in remote areas is still limited. Always carry a portable charger and plan carefully for outback routes.
Charger data from Open Charge Map — a community-maintained global database updated in real time.
