Campervan Holidays in Western Australia
Britz Campervan Rental in Broome
If you're looking to explore Broome and the vast coast and north west of Western Australia then Britz are sure to have a vehicle for you. Broome sits on the Dampier Peninsula in the Indian Ocean, north of the Great Sandy Desert and around 2300 kilometres north of Perth, roughly the same distance as London to Athens or Chicago to Los Angeles. Amongst other things, Broome is famed for its pearling industry and Cable Beach where the first Telegraph cable reached Australian soil from the UK. Travel north and you enter the remote and vast Kimberly region occupying around the same landmass as Germany.
It's clear that travelling in this region of Australia involves large distances and in some instances extra care and planning, particularly when travelling to more remote areas and off sealed roads. However the North West offers some of the most extraordinary terrain found anywhere in the world and some truly unique experiences, such as the Bungle Bungles in the Kimberley, Dolphins at Monkey Mia and swimming with Whale Sharks on Ningaloo Reef near Exmouth to name but a few.

Petrol Stations
Fuel prices in Australia do fluctuate depending up location, especially in the country. You will notice that prices change during the week and around popular holiday time such as Christmas and the Easter break.
Queensland fuel tends to be around $0.10 cheaper per litre due to local state tax concessions. Expect to pay more for fuel in remote
locations. If you plan to travel in remote areas it is advisable to keep you fuel tanks topped up as frequently as is possible (the same principle applies to water supplies as well especially in remote areas).
