Around Aus in 6 months 2019

[Thevet]

Has anyone got any recommendations for a source for either purchasing or renting a 4wd motorhome for 6 months in 2019 for a grand tour aroung Australia, preferably 4 berth even though there are only 2 of us, just for the space inside. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info, it seems therir website is undergoing maintenance at the moment, but I'll keep checking, plans are to arrive melbourne in 11 months, and then head around the island/continent, Interestingly, your website is LS based, I'm hoping to take my LS7 powered Ultima to the nurburgring this autumn......mighy try and pick up some hot bits for the car during the lap.

Thanks for the comments and links, I'll be starting work on the paperwork side soon

I understand that dogs can't go everywhere, but if you met us and the dogs you would understand the connection that means they are part of the troop, just how it works for us, and so it shall be.

That is not an issue, the dogs will be tested and certified, and on arrival will have to spend a minimum of 10 days in quarantine if they pass all the required tests. Mutley has been vaccinated and tested for rabies antibodies (aka immune not infected or carrier) since 2014 and the other pooch Teagan came from Cyprus to UK so had to pass similar standards as Aus..... Hopefully it will all go to plan.

Starting Melbourne where kennels are approx 1st may 2019, then following the road as close to the coast as a campervan/motorhome can go, anticlockwise........taking 6 months to cover 10k miles, we are just starting to put the pins in the map, checking if roads are ok, dogs allowed in that area etc Researching as many blogs on where to go as poss. don't think we will be going to Uluru/Alice springs, just staying close to the coast.

Well, yes the budget was fine, due to imminent retirement, however, due to the unfortunate demise of my canine copilot, and arrival of his replacement, plans have had to be put back a bit. We are not sure about driving across the centre of Aus, just our view of what we like. Anyway, the plan is still on, just a bit delayed.
