The north coast of NSW is a magical place of lush river valleys, coastal villages, dramatic coastlines, wide sweeping beaches, and the ever-present sparkling blue Pacific Ocean. If you hire a campervan from Sydney and drop it off in Brisbane (or the other way around) it won’t cost you any one-way fees with Camperman.
