There's nothing quite like exploring your own backyard. Living in Australia means we have a unique and large variety of holiday destinations sprawled across the country. No matter where you’re travelling to, the odds are high that your route will be just as beautiful and striking as the destination itself. In fact, Aussie scenery is so picturesque that plenty of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters have used it as backdrops. Our natural wonders are ready to be explored, and you might be ready to just pack everything up and take yourself on a road trip to see them for yourself.
Now, you might be thinking ‘but I don’t have a decked-out campervan to make this trip happen’.

So, whether you’re fresh out of uni and ready to see what stretches beyond your city, a true solo adventurer chasing your next adventure or a family looking for a relaxing weekend away, the Volkswagen Crafter Kampervan is fitted with state-of-the-art features to make for the perfect home on the road. While you’re browsing Play For Purpose’s charity partners, here are some iconic road trip hot spots from your fave blockbuster movies to inspire your future travels.
It’s almost crazy to think that a setting as magical and as otherworldly as what we see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was filmed using real-life natural backdrops, but Thor: Ragnarok actually utilised some of Queensland’s most tranquil wonders. In fact, Mt. Tambourine’s lush rainforests were used for one of Heimdall’s battle scenes. There’s nothing quite like taking your new campervan to touch land that actual Gods have touched, right?
Maybe you’re after a trip that’s a little more luxurious. We can’t blame you — why not treat yourself? Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby saw Leonardo DiCaprio throw on the most lavish of soirees, but filming for this opulent classic also took place in the depths of the Blue Mountains. Why not take a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and take in some of life’s more peaceful moments, even on a solo trip?
No list of classic Aussie-made movies can be complete without the quintessential Australian road trip staple — Priscilla: Queen of the Desert. Take that campervan straight through the outback and become your own version of desert royalty. Oh, and give your campervan a name. You know you want to.
