We are huge fans of Birren & can’t wait for it his live set! “Gudjingburra artist, Birren, has a deep love for music.

Vanlife Conversions, built in Newcastle, NSW & Torquay VIC.

We design and build vans around the people who will actually live, travel and spend time in them.

No standard layouts. No one-size-fits-all approach.

Thoughtful use of space, natural materials and considered details, with a focus on keeping our builds light, open and functional.

From weekend escapes to full-time off-grid living, every Vanlife Conversions build starts with how you want to use your van and develops from there.

After more than a decade building custom campervans, our Newcastle workshop is now taking enquiries for upcoming builds.

If you’ve been thinking about creating something of your own, we’d love to hear what you have in mind.

Custom campervans | Newcastle NSW + Torquay VIC
VASS, RMS certified + GVM upgrades
Built since 2014

🚐✨ VANLIFE GATHERING 2026 ✨🚐

October 2–5. Four days. One incredible community. 🌿

We’re counting down to celebrating together again — with the workshops, Victron energy, conversations, music, connection and magic that make Vanlife Gathering so special.

We’re stoked to have Tom Robb from lifeis_theway back with his powerful Finding Your True North workshop, and Uncle Warren from YARN Australia creating a safe space for meaningful conversations around Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian cultural connections.

These gatherings set the benchmark for intentional community events — and once you’ve been to one, it just might become the highlight of your year. ❤️

🎟️ Early Bird tickets are ON SALE NOW!
Grab yours via the link in our profile.

We can’t wait to see you there. 🌿🚐✨

Hi we’re Drew and Ashleigh from Dirty Harry

As a couple that loves outdoors and all
The amazing things in nature , when Covid came along we were in between jobs and vanlife was something that always interested us both. We brought our little hiace and took us about a month to fit it out.

Although we both still work jobs and have a mortgage, we don’t live in the van full time but absolutely love that the fact we can just jump in whenever we want with our dogs and head away for weekend trips.

We recently did a three week road trip with our dogs and travelled down the south coast and got married and it was beyond amazing. We both love how simple yet amazing vanlife is and look forward to soo many more trips our little hiace will take us on!
