RV Friendlies & Events



Australia is built for the open road — and RV Friendlies is how we celebrate the towns and places that welcome you with open arms.


The RV Friendly Town™ program recognises councils that go the extra mile for RV travellers, with easy access, safe parking and welcoming facilities. RV Friendly Destinations™ do the same for specific sites within a community — perfect for towns still building their offering.


We also share events happening in these towns, so members can plan their next trip around a local market, festival or rally, not just a place to park.


Together, these programs connect our 60,000+ members with places that genuinely want them there. Because when a town says "RV Friendly," you know you're welcome.

TAS Wynyard Tulip Festival
Wynyard Tulip Festival

Date: 11/10/2026

In conjunction with Table Cape Tulip Farm opening its gates to a world of colour, the Wynyard Tulip Festival 2025 celebrates this iconic landmark, which attracts over 20,000 visitors every spring. The festival features live entertainment, Tasmanian produce, a fireworks display, thrilling rides, and family-friendly activities.

The inaugural Tulip Festival took place in 1991, born from the community’s pride in the vibrant tulips that blossomed each spring at Table Cape Tulip Farm. Over the years, we have celebrated 33 successful festivals, with only 2020 missed due to COVID.

What began as a small local celebration of spring and the region’s tulips has since transformed into a nationally recognised festival, attracting visitors from across Australia as well as countries such as India and China. Last year, the festival welcomed an estimated 20,000 guests.

This year, festival-goers can look forward to special appearances from nationally recognised guests, including MasterChef Australia 2024 runner-up Josh “Pezza” Perry and ABC Gardening Australia host Hannah Moloney, returning for her second year!

Westech Field Days

Date: 8-9/9/26

The Barcaldine Westech Field Day committee invites you to join us on 8-9 September 2026 to continue our tradition of providing an action packed two full days of covering the interest of all ages.

Since its inception in 1983 Westech has earned a solid reputation amongst exhibitors and visitors alike as one of the best of its type. Known by our return visitors and exhibitors as the friendly field days, its reputation for providing an extensive array of equipment, product and information specific to the grazing industry and remote area living is unquestioned by the increasing number of exhibitors and visitors to the event.

The exhibitors enjoy good exposure to a receptive audience and visitors are treated to a smorgasbord of relevant and useful technology and products.

The event is held every three years which contributes significantly to its success, allowing for advances in rural technology and to maintain on-going interest and participation from exhibitors and its growing audience.

We look forward to renewing old friendships and welcoming new exhibitors and visitors to this great part of Central Western Queensland and to experience our friendly relaxed country atmosphere at the Westech Field Days once again.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA Peterborough - SA RVFT
Peterborough - SA RVFT

Peterborough (or Petersburg as it was known until 1918) is a historic railway town on the western edge of the Flinders Ranges, 253km north of Adelaide. The town’s greatest claim to fame is that it is one of only two places in Australia where three railway gauges meet (the other is Gladstone). This was the result of different state governments being unable (or unwilling) to agree on a standard railway gauge. Peterborough developed relatively late in the history of South Australia, but by 1880 the Petersburg Hotel and the local post office had been erected and the following year the rail link from Adelaide was completed. The change of the town's name occurred during WW1 when anti-German sentiment was so strong that the Nomenclature Act insisted that all German-sounding names be changed.Visitors to Peterborough can find casual parking, as well as potable water and a dump point along Don Ferguson Drive, and short-term parking can be found at Peterborough Rest Area East, Wilmington-Ucolta Rd. There is no fee to stay here. Bins are available and pets on a lead are permitted. While in town, take a stroll through the ten acre Dragons Rest Habitat Garden and keep an eye out for the large diversity of plants and animals. Other features include scrap metal creatures, ponds, a kitchen garden and topiary. Take in a full panoramic view of Peterborough and its surroundings from the observation deck in Greg Duggan Nature Reserve, which also offers easily-accessible walking trails.Tourist/Visitor Information CentreSteamtown Visitor Information Centre2 Telford AvePh: 08 8651 3355www.visitpeterboroughsa.com.auCasual Parking (near retail centre)Don Ferguson Dr, parallel to Main StShort & Long Term ParkingPeterborough Rest Area EastWilmington-Ucolta RdNil charge, pets on lead, bins.Peterborough RV Park, Telford AveNil charge, 120hrs, self-contained vehicles only, pets on lead welcome.Dump PointDon Ferguson Dr, parallel to Main StLat: -32.97386, Long: 138.83272Potable WaterDon Ferguson Dr, parallel to Main St near dump point and Rotary Park, Main StHospital23 Hurlstone St, Ph: 8 8651 0400Doctors SurgeryHospital precinct, Ph: 08 8651 2406Pharmacy211 Main St, Ph: 08 8651 2688SupermarketFoodland 171 Main St, Ph: 08 8651 2506

QUEENSLAND Mundubbera - QLD RVFT
Mundubbera - QLD RVFT

Mundubbera is a town in the Wide Bay Burnett region of Queensland, located on the Burnett Highway, 405 kilometres north-west of Brisbane and 200 kilometres west of Bundaberg. Mundubbera is built on the bank of the Burnett River and claims to be the ‘Citrus Capital of Queensland’, a fact reinforced by having a 'big mandarin' (known sometimes as the Enormous Ellendale) to greet visitors who approach the town from the coast. The Mundubbera area was first settled by Europeans in the late 1840s. In 1848 Mundubbera Station was established as a sheep grazing property and the following year the Archer brothers, who were to become some of the largest landholders in Central Queensland, moved into the area.Those visiting the area can find short-term parking at Mundubbera Showground located in Bunce Street. Sites are $22 per vehicle per night and a time limit of 24 hours applies. Potable water can be obtained from both Archer Park & Bicentennial Park, and a dump point is located on Bauer Street.Mundubbera is a wonderful place to visit, especially for RV travellers. Local attractions include Bicentennial Park, home to a steam train and a tree grown from a seed gathered from the Lone Pine at Gallipoli. The nearby Auburn River National Park is a good location to find Queensland Lungfish, a rare living fossil found only in the Burnett and Mary Rivers. This Park is popular with bushwalkers and rock climbers. It features cascades, great swimming spots, caves, balancing rocks and superb scenery.Tourist/Visitor Centre       Mundubbera Heritage Information Centre, Bicentennial Park,Durong Rd, Mundubbera QLDPh: 1300 696 272admin@northburnett.qld.gov.auwww.northburnett.qld.gov.auCasual Parking       Bauer St, entrance to Lyons StShort Term Parking           Mundubbera Showground, Bunce St, $22 pn, (24hr); Black Stump Rest Area, Burnett HwyDump Point  Bauer StPotable Water          Archer Park & Bicentennial ParkHospital        Leichhardt St, Ph: 07 4165 5200Doctors Surgery     Orton St Ph: 07 4165 3666Pharmacy     24 Lyons St, Ph: 04 4165 4537Supermarket            IGA, 48-50 Lyons St, Ph: 07 4165 4180
