The Van-Tastic Adventure is your chance to strike out on the great Aussie road of freedom – to have fun, seek adventure and be entertaining. As one of seven Van-Tastic teams, you will…
Be flown in from any where in the world
Be entrusted with Geoff, (our beloved campervan from Travellers Auto Barn ) collecting and returning him to your state’s designated cities
Spend six weeks going… well, pretty much wherever you like
Share your adventure with the online world, posting two videos, two blog posts and 10 photos per week
Make one podcast during your six weeks
Create a 3-5 minute mini-doco of your Van-Tastic Adventure
You’ll make the mini-doco during two weeks immediately after your trip, which of course is when you show your genius at editing.
The online travel community will be voting for their favourite doco, so remember to seek out the most interesting adventures, people, activities, landscapes – most interesting anything – to get you voted as the most Van-Tastic Adventurer.
The team they love the mostest wins $10,000 and two tickets on Virgin Blue!
Simply tell us what you’d do on your Van-Tastic Adventure. We’re looking for sparkling personalities with a zest for life and a passion for travel.

This is so we can find your video. It’s important that you read this before you upload!
