If you are planning a trip to Australia or a big lap around Australia you should start by making a bucket list. On your bucket list for Australia you can include must see places in Australia, must do things in Australia, must eat foods in Australia, must experience in Australia and must buy Australian items. Here are my Australian bucket list items. Many I have seen, done, experienced, eaten and bought already. But there are still many things on my bucket list for Australia to be completed.

My Favourite Travel Resources that help me discover Australia now.

* For accommodation I book a bed in a hostel through HostelWorld or a hotel room via Booking.com. For free accommodation I house sit through Trusted Housesitters.
* I purchase camping & caravanning gear through Caravan RV Camping, Amazon, Anaconda and Outback Equipment. I power up with a Bluetti Solar Powerbank.
* For clothing and travel gear I like North Face  (particularly their jackets and their hybrid backpack/suitcase).
* For bags (I take my messenger bag everywhere) I like Bagsmart.
* If I need to rent a car I check out options at DiscoverCars and campervans at Jucy. And I find my way with Hema Maps.
* When I need travel insurance I get a policy through World Nomads or SafetyWing. For car and van insurance I use the state auto clubs like RACV.
* I protect myself online with a VPN from NordVPN.
