“I’m thinking of going to Broken Hill again.”
“Oh, have you been there before?”
“No, but I’ve thought about it plenty…”
Now is the time to see Australia! With self-drive holidays the safest and most flexible form of travel for the next 18-months, now is the time to explore the open roads, the desert night skies, the tumbling waterfalls, bushlands and pristine riverways that are iconic to Australia’s brand from coast to coast.
The coronavirus pandemic decimated Australia’s tourism industry, but the forecast is on the up as travelers eager to break the shackles of lockdown plan their upcoming summer holidays. Whilst our industry certainly lost billions of revenue dollars from a wiped-out inbound tourism economy, our suburbs are full of Australians with holiday budgets they would have spent overseas.
Earlier this year Wotpods general manager John Hancock bought a teardrop camper built by Blake Goozee. For his family it changed more than the notion of camping, it rocketed the frequency of getaways and baited their impulse. As his 9-year old daughter commented in a national park one afternoon: “I like this Dad. It makes us do stuff!”
With six of the next eight weekends spent in parks, near beaches or simply in other towns visiting friends, the teardrop aroused the curiosity of many. “Everywhere we parked there was genuine interest in our new teardrop and my family is totally in love with it,” said John.
“We arrive and everything is setup in minutes. The pack-down is gentle and even if it rains you’re not thinking ‘hope the roof doesn’t sag, dang I’ll have to unpack it all again when I get home to dry out’. All that before and after work with camping is now gone.”
With a background in tourism technology and aware of the pending eruption of Australia’s domestic camping and caravanning industry, John went on the hunt for a business partner. He found Jason Nairn.
Jason’s factory built elaborate event exhibits for some of Australia’s biggest corporates. Jason had all the equipment, space and skilled staff. John had the industry knowledge and with a little market-testing quickly demonstrated to Jason broad public interest in affordable teardrop campers. A great partnership was formed and within a couple of weeks Jason’s entire team had gone over every nook and angle on John’s teardrop. Designs evolved, upgrades flourished from the many brainstorming sessions and from it the first Wotpod was born!
Wotpods are sleek, minimalist design, built with integrity and a team with over 150yrs combined cabinetry experience. Rugged enough to endure Australia’s tough climate conditions, yet cozy enough to transcend a traveler from rollout mattresses on the ground to queen-size fully-insulated slumber heaven.
Close the doors and you hear that neat airtight ‘whop’ as the outside world disappears and you arrive in your own little Tardus. Lock up. Turn on the downlights for a game of cards. Reading lamps for a good book. A 2-way rooftop fan keeps it fresh as you sink into a Netflix movie on the optional TV. Or maybe just close you eyes and drift away to some tunes cast from your phone onto the Bluetooth speaker, standard inclusion in all models. Easy, safe and fun camping for all.
Wotpod campers offer a galley kitchen in the rear with gas cooker, fridge, running water, drawers, shelves and a well-sized varnished benchtop. The optional 4.2sqm gazebo takes only minutes to setup and suddenly you are glamping like never before. If you have a family, the Wotpod makes for a great waterproof trailer to bring all your gear. The gazebo with walls easily fits another four beds.
Project a movie onto one of the gazebo walls for all the kids in the park and tuck into some damper. The worldwide popularity of the teardrop camper derives from their affordability, economy and wide range of home-made and factory models. With more than 750,000 registered RVs in Australia. Wotpods re-imagine Australian travel. What better way to kick off your adventure this summer than hitching up a Wotpod Teardrop Caravan.
