While mortgages and rents skyrocket and holidays become harder to afford, one Aussie family will spend an entire year living rent free and travelling the country.
Over 1.8m households were found to be grappling mortgage stress late last year, while Australia’s median rent reached a record $650 per week in January.
The prospect of airfare rises is looming for holiday planners and even for local travellers, the recent cost of fuel explosion offers a major financial hurdle.
Yet, one Aussie couple or family will spend an entire year living rent-free while travelling around the country for an entire year – should they be the recipients of a competition recently announced by BIG4 Holiday Parks.

BIG4’s “BIG Aussie Review” competition will provide its winner with the opportunity to travel around Australia for 12 months, reviewing their destinations along the way.
The winner will receive a prize package valued at over $250,000 that includes a new Ford Ranger, a Crusader caravan and accommodation.
They will stay at BIG4 Holiday Parks around the country and spend the year as the company’s official travel reviewers.
BIG4 Holiday Parks CEO Sean Jenner said the best holidays were “right here in our own backyard”.

“Australians don’t need a passport to have an incredible holiday,” he said
“We’re a nation that loves a review, and The BIG Aussie Review is about shining the spotlight onto the magical stuff and celebrating what makes travel in Australia so special.”
The competition aims to uncover hidden gems around the country and “[inspire] Australians to rediscover their own backyard,” according to BIG4.
Along the way, the winner will be tasked with capturing their journey via video, social media and editorial content.
Applications are open via BIG4’s website.
