About Conquer Australia
Conquer Australia is a caravanning and off-road touring guide for people doing the big trips around this country — from a fortnight up the coast to the full Big Lap. We cover caravan parks, caravan-friendly camping grounds, the best drives, and the off-road tracks that test a rig, with one promise running through all of it: tell you the things the booking apps and brochures leave out.
What we cover
- Caravan parks & camping grounds — powered sites, ensuites, pet rules, dump points, big-rig access and honest tariffs, state by state.
- Tracks & drives — sealed touring drives through to serious off-road tracks, with surface, corrugations, river crossings, permits and the fuel/water/dump gaps along the way.
- Touring routes — multi-day and Big Lap plans with day-by-day stages and where to sleep each night.
- Gear — recovery kit, water, solar and towing gear; every review declares whether we've actually used it.
- Guides — towing weights, tyre pressures, off-grid power, staying connected, and the rest of the on-the-road know-how.
“Can my van do this?”
The thing we care about most is the question every tourer actually asks before a trip: will my setup make it? So our track guides carry a plain rig-suitability rating — from “any van” through to “serious off-road only” — alongside surface, clearance and remoteness notes. It's the layer the data apps don't give you, and it's the reason this site exists.
The Conqueror heritage
For more than a decade this domain belonged to Conqueror Australia, an importer and builder of premium off-road campers and hybrid caravans — rigs built to take Australia's harshest tracks. That business has since wound down, and Conquer Australia is a new, independent editorial project: we're not the manufacturer, we don't sell or service those campers, and we don't speak for the old company. We've kept the name because the mission rhymes — helping people get further off the beaten track with confidence — and we think that heritage deserves an honest mention rather than a quiet rebrand over the top of it.
How we review gear
Every gear review is clearly marked as either Tested (we've used it in real conditions and the page names the tester) or Research-based (we haven't used it, and we say so). We don't pretend to have tested gear we haven't. Full methodology is on our editorial standards page.
How we make money
Conquer Australia is supported mainly by booking and affiliate commissions. When you book a caravan park through one of our partner links (BIG4, G'Day Parks, Discovery Parks, Booking.com) or buy gear we've linked, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes which parks or gear we recommend or what we say about them. Full details are on our affiliate disclosure page.
Editorial independence
Brands and parks don't pay for inclusion or for higher ratings. When a piece is sponsored or a product was provided for testing, we say so on that page.
