Data has been gathered on a number of key factors which contribute to a good camping or road trip. For each state, the following data has been gathered and assembled into interactive graphs:
  • Cost of campsite accommodation
  • Price of petrol
  • Price of food and drink
  • Weather
  • Number of campsites
  • Number of activities and attractions
  • Number of national/state parks
The numbers have also been crunched to give an overall score for each state:
  1. TAS - 9.1/10
  2. SA - 9.0/10
  3. VIC - 8.7/10
  4. QLD - 8.5/10
  5. NSW - 8.4/10
  6. WA - 8.4/10
  7. NT - 8.1/10
This is a fun and light-hearted topic designed to inspire some friendly state-on-state rivalry.

Data from a variety of sources such as ABS, BOM, Caravan Industry Association of Australia etc.
