Outback Adventure in Queensland - With the roof tent through Australia's wilderness

Queensland, Australia, is a true paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers. The diverse landscape, from the tropical rainforest in the north to the rugged outback in the west, offers countless opportunities for unforgettable camping experiences. With a robust vehicle like an Isuzu pickup truck and the right equipment, nothing stands in the way of your outback adventure. Rooftop tents mounted on trailers are particularly practical for such expeditions, offering maximum flexibility and comfort even in remote areas.

The ideal setup for Queensland's harsh conditions

With its robustness and off-road capability, an Isuzu pickup truck is an ideal vehicle for the challenges of the Australian outback. Combined with a Tanami Plus roof tent mounted on a trailer, it creates a perfect setup for extended trips through Queensland. The Tanami Plus impresses with its quick setup time, weatherproof properties, and high sleeping comfort – all crucial factors for relaxed camping in a region where the weather can change quickly. Mounting it on a trailer also offers the advantage of allowing the main vehicle to be used for day trips without having to dismantle camp.

On tour through Queensland's Outback

Queensland's Outback, with its endless expanses, red sands, and starry night skies, offers a unique travel experience. The region around Quilpie, about 980 kilometers west of Brisbane, is part of the authentic Outback and a perfect place to experience the tranquility and beauty of Australia. For longer stays in this region, we recommend using a vehicle awning in addition to the roof tent, which provides shade and protection from sudden weather changes.

Weatherproof in the Australian Outback

Weather conditions in Queensland can be extreme and change rapidly—from intense heat to violent thunderstorms with strong winds and hail. One of our customer experiences illustrates the reliability of our products under such conditions:

I'm just outside Quilpie to camp for the night, and just as I was getting settled in, I was caught in a massive storm. Hail, strong winds, and torrential rain. All good. *Images and/or text courtesy of Denis Leonard.*

This experience impressively demonstrates the importance of reliable equipment in the outback. Gordigear's Tanami Plus roof tent was specifically developed for such extreme conditions and, with its robust material and sophisticated construction, offers protection in virtually any weather.

The most important sights in Queensland

In addition to the fascinating Outback, Queensland offers numerous other attractions that are worth a visit:

• The Great Barrier Reef – one of the world’s greatest natural wonders
• The Whitsunday Islands with their beautiful beaches
• The Daintree Rainforest – the oldest rainforest in the world
• Fraser Island – the largest sand island in the world
• The Carnarvon Gorge with its impressive gorges

To explore these diverse regions, we recommend adding an awning to the roof tent , which significantly expands the living space and offers more comfort during longer stays. This creates valuable additional space, especially when traveling with several people.

Off-road driving in Queensland – tips for safe travel

The Queensland outback offers some of Australia's best off-road driving. However, there are a few important rules to follow: Check road conditions and trail conditions in advance, as they can deteriorate dramatically after rainfall. Check your vehicle's manufacturer's dynamic roof load rating, especially if you're traveling with a roof tent. The additional weight of the roof rack must be taken into account. Never drive alone and make sure you have enough water, fuel, and spare parts.

Optimal camping comfort with Gordigear

For maximum comfort on your Queensland trip, Gordigear offers a comprehensive range of thoughtful accessories. In addition to the Tanami Plus roof tent, upgrading to a hard-shell roof tent might be a good option for longer trips, offering even more comfort and faster setup. When mounting on a trailer, a trailer tent like the Savannah is a good alternative, offering more space for families or longer stays.

When planning your gear, consider Queensland's climatic conditions. During the dry season, it's usually pleasantly warm during the day, but the nights can get quite chilly. A high-quality roof tent with good insulation like the Tanami Plus makes all the difference for restful nights in the outback.
