MAD MAX ADVENTURE TRAVEL
Mad Max is the quintessential Aussie movie saga — putting the pedal to the metal in four adrenalineinduced fantasy road adventures. The first three films showcased our wonderfully raw, rugged land to the wider world. And while the fourth adventure, Mad Max: Fury Road, diverted to Namibia, southern Africa, the fast-approaching fifth film, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, returns the mayhem to Aussie soil.
Yet the seemingly brutal wastelands that serve as the progressively desolate environments for Max Rockatansky’s exploits are, in fact, remarkably habitable, picturesque destinations for travellers.
From endless rural backroads among the Melbourne hinterlands to the eternal expanses of the iconic Mundi Mundi Plains in Silverton, NSW, and the underground otherworldliness of Coober Pedy, SA, and beyond — we’ve selected the most memorable destinations across the original trilogy and chosen conveniently close caravan-friendly camping spots that’ll help put you in the shoes of the iconic road warrior.
So, get ready to rev up the proverbial V8 Interceptor to commence the ultimate Mad Max camping adventure that’ll immerse you within that wild world so vividly brought to life on the silver screen.
MAD MAX (1979): MELBOURNE, VIC
At the very beginning, there was Max Rockatansky, a young cop trying to uphold the law in a brutal, angst-ridden world who turns vigilante after an aggressive motorbike gang endangers his family.
