Starlink has changed the conversation about remote connectivity in Australia. For the first time, genuinely fast internet is available in locations where mobile service has never existed.
Coverage in Australia
As of 2025, Starlink service is available across virtually all of Australia including remote outback areas that have never had any internet connectivity. The Kimberley, Cape York, the Simpson Desert – all covered.
Real-World Speeds
- Download: 80-200Mbps
- Upload: 10-30Mbps
- Latency: 20-40ms – low enough for video calls
The Cost
Starlink’s roaming plan for Australia costs approximately $190-220 per month with no data caps. For full-time caravanners working remotely, this is often significantly cheaper than multiple mobile carriers and signal boosters.
Mounting Options for Caravans
- Roof-mounted fixed bracket – clean but needs dismounting near trees
- Roof rack mounted on adjustable arm – best flexibility
- Ground-mounted tripod – maximum flexibility for optimal positioning
Verdict
For full-time or frequent remote caravanners, Starlink is genuinely life-changing. For occasional campers who primarily use caravan parks with Wi-Fi, it is hard to justify the expense.
