For everyone dreaming of escaping into the wild.

Given the state of the world right now, you’re probably contemplating giving up your 9-5, going off-grid and escaping it all in a bid to reconnect with nature.

You could start your own colony on a remote island somewhere. Or, you could opt for something less permanent (but still rewarding) and set off on an adventure to these remote Aussie destinations — #vanlife style.

But first, best make sure you’re prepared. After you’ve revamped your van, you’re going to need a safe and reliable portable power station for the road — and the EcoFlow DELTA Max will be your ultimate travel companion.

With solar charging, unlimited power supply and the ability to meet 99% of your power needs, the EcoFlow DELTA Max is an essential carry-on item for anyone dreaming of getting away. 

Now that you're all packed, let’s hit the road! Here are our top picks for the most incredible off-grid getaways in Australia's backyard:

1. Bask in the awe-inspiring Bungle Bungles in Purnululu National Park, Western Australia.

This phenomenal series of beehive-shaped rock formations will be like nothing you’ve ever seen. Take them in from the shoreline or book a scenic flight. 

Found in the East Kimberley region, near Kununurra, this trek will take you on gravel and heavily corrugated roads. You’ll definitely need a reliable portable power station – like the EcoFlow DELTA Max. 

2. Discover majestic waterfalls and awe-inspiring views in Grampians National Park, Victoria.

Part of the Gariwerd Aboriginal cultural landscape, this stunning national park is heritage-listed for its animal and plant life, Aboriginal heritage and stunning natural beauty. Take it all in on one of the many amazing walks or hikes. Or, go fishing, canoeing or kayaking in Lake Wartook, Lake Bellfield and Moora Moora Reservoir to become totally immersed in nature.

3. Hike to the top of mountainous peaks in pursuit of breathtaking views, in Cradle Mountain, Tasmania.

Pristine wilderness, crystal clear lakes, mountainous peaks and native animals are what awaits you at the idyllic Cradle Mountain. There are several short walks or long hikes that will have you reconnecting with nature and taking in views like these in no time.                                                                     

As you’ll be driving through extremely remote (and sometimes very cold!) parts of Tassie, best make sure you have all your devices charged and heating readily available with the EcoFlow DELTA Max.

4. Trek to the most westerly point of the Australian continent, Shark Bay, Western Australia.

Another World Heritage Reserve, this place will certainly be worth the trek with endless natural features on offer. Like the seagrass beds, which happen to be the largest and richest in the world. Or, the dugong population and fascinating stromatolites (layered rock formations) along the shoreline. I mean, the white sand beaches and aqua blue waters are pretty great, too.

5. Feel as though you’re a world away from everywhere in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales.

Losing yourself in the Blue Mountains is the kind of soul-cleansing experience we all need. This World Heritage Site is home to eucalyptus forest and famous landmarks like the Three Sisters rock formation. It’s hard to imagine this incredible place borders Sydney’s metropolitan region, really.

As you’ll be driving between cities and more remote locations, the EcoFlow RIVER Series is a great option — it's lighter weight, flexible and offers expanded battery. 

6. Feel like you’ve slipped into a prehistoric time, in Mount Field National Park, Tasmania.

They say some parts of Derwent Valley, where Mount Field National Park is located, have not even been discovered yet — with trees hundreds of years old and reaching over 100 metres tall. Here, you'll be walking past stunning pencil pines, pandanis and other ancient conifers endemic to Tasmania.

7. Wander through a World Heritage Listed Area for endless natural marvels, at Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory.

You can’t get much more remote than a highly protected World Heritage Listed Area, right? And Kakadu National Park is huge (nearly half the size of Switzerland!). Found southeast of Darwin, wander through wetlands full of unique ecosystems and rare endemic species of plants and wildlife.

As the NT is one of the most remote and rural parts of Aus, you’ll be driving on verrryyyy long roads and through often unpopulated areas. So, equip yourself with nothing but the best — the EcoFlow DELTA Max.

8. Find out what’s on the other side of Arthur River, Tasmania.

As Arthur River can be found on Tassie’s most western point, it’s often referred to as ‘the edge of the world’. Surrounded by nothing but rugged coastline, a wild river and dense rainforest, this remote part of Tassie is great for reconnecting with nature. Hire a canoe, boat or four-wheeler to explore its more unhinged side.

9. And finally, walk on one of the most beautiful and underrated beaches, Dingo Beach, Queensland.

You’ve probably heard of Airlie Beach, but have you heard of Dingo Beach? Only accessible by car, this remote coastal region is one of the best off-the-beaten-track places to visit in Queensland. Featuring a stunning long, sandy beach and public boat ramp, hire a boat and set to the seas. Or, swim, kayak or canoe this magnificent shoreline.  

Wherever you go, an EcoFlow portable power station will have your back.
