One of the best things about travelling to a new country is experiencing new, beautiful places and unique cultures. In Australia, we are often best known for our open-minded attitudes, our “shrimp on the barbie” accent and our laid-back coastal surfing culture.

This is especially true when travelling to the bush and more remote parts of Australia. 

If you are planning an Australian campervan holiday with your family but are a little worried about what is considered rude in Australia’s outback areas - we have you covered! Here’s a little peek into Australian bush etiquette, including conversations, camping, driving and more! So you can feel right at home during your adventure down under.
