From Bucket List to Booked

For us, there really is only one way to travel Australia – our Apollo motorhomes. Driving down the winding roads, stopping at any and every interesting spot or landmark that catches your eye. And when you park up – that’s it! You’re all set up to spend the night gazing at the starry sky. Plus, there is something magical about waking up to the sound of waves or birds singing, making a coffee and getting back into bed to watch the sunrise.


Whether you’re making memories with the littlies, spending quality time with your significant other, heading out for a solo adventure or hitting the road with your friends, there are so many routes to take.

Hayden Quinn's Coastal Road Trip


Chef & keen adventurer Hayden Quinn, his wife Jax, and their cute pup Peanut love a relaxed road trip, and their recent roadie in the comfort of an Apollo motorhome was one worth sharing! 

Hayden, Jax & Peanut spent a few blissful days exploring the south coast of New South Wales - soaking up the sun and cooking up a storm along the way. While in the camper, Hayden whipped up an easy and delicious curry, sharing how simple it is to make great tasting food on the road - proving that cooking in a camper doesn't need to be boring or basic! 

Hayden's Campervan Curry Recipe - 

Ingredients - 
● 1 tbs neutral oil
● 1 x small brown onion, diced
● 4 x cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
● 3 x sprigs curry leaf, leaves only
● 2 tbs curry powder (I used Love my Earth Fish Masala)
● 1 tbs brown mustard seeds
● Sea salt, to taste
● 1 (400ml) can coconut milk
● 400g peel green prawns
● White rice, cooked to your liking
● Coriander, to garnish

Method
Step 1. Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and onion, cook for 2-3mins until onion begins to soften. Next add garlic and curry leaf, stir well to
combine. Once fragrant, add curry powder and mustard seeds, and toast for a further 1-2mins.
Step 2. Add coconut milk and stir, incorporating all the curry powder and spices into the mix, the coconut milk should change colour and bring to a gentle simmer. Add
prawns and cook until done to your liking. *Note, you may need to add a little water to the mix if it becomes too thick.
Step 3. Serve curry over rice and garnish with coriander. Enjoy!
