The Ultimate RAV4 Weekend Warrior Setup: Must‑Haves for August Escapes in Australia

August is the sweet spot for winter travel in Australia—alpine hikes, coastal drives, and red-dirt road trips without the summer crowds. But winter brings real challenges:

• Frosty windscreens in TAS or VIC.
• Salt spray along the SA or NSW coast.
• Muddy boots and gear from hikes in the Grampians.
• Low winter sun glare on twisty roads.
