Welcome to Adventure Awaits – where the journey begins!

Adventure Awaits is not just a store – it’s a destination for curious minds, gift givers, wanderers, and fun seekers. Since 2013, we’ve been sharing joy, sparking adventure, and helping families, travellers, and gift lovers across Australia discover unique treasures that inspire exploration and connection.

Based in the friendly town of Numurkah, Victoria, Adventure Awaits brings together eclectic gifts, Australian-made products, clever travel gear, and essentials for caravanning and camping. Whether you’re planning a family road trip, stocking up for your next holiday, or simply looking for something special to make someone smile, we’ve got you covered.


🌏 What You’ll Find at Adventure Awaits

We’ve handpicked over 3,000 products that are tried, tested, and loved by families, adventurers, and gift-givers across Australia. Our best-selling collections include:

  • Kids Travel Journals – award-winning, Australian-made diaries designed to keep little travellers entertained and engaged on the road.

  • Map of Australia Stickers – durable, Aussie-made stickers perfect for caravans, classrooms, fridges, and travel planners.

  • Pegless Clotheslines – the original Slide n’ Dry Pegless Clothesline, an Aussie invention that’s a must-have camping clothesline for caravanners and campers.

  • Caravan Log Books – practical and beautifully designed for keeping track of your adventures.

  • Wooden toys, nostalgic games, and clever gadgets that bring joy to all ages.

  • Caravanning and camping essentials made for modern explorers.

  • Gorgeous Australian-made gifts that support local makers.

From baby’s first toy to clever grown-up gifts, from travel accessories to quirky novelties, our collections are as eclectic and exciting as the adventures life has to offer.


🚐 Our Caravanning & Camping Roots

Adventure Awaits grew from a love of family road trips. In 2015, we launched our sister brand, Caravanning with Kids, which has become a go-to resource for Aussie travellers. This is where our most iconic products were born – the Kids Travel Journal, the Caravan Log Book, and the much-loved Slide n’ Dry Pegless Clothesline.

Today, families across Australia take Adventure Awaits on the road with them – sticking a Map of Australia Sticker on their caravan, stringing up a pegless washing line at the campsite, or journaling memories in their travel diary.
