WE’RE free to travel.

Finally, regional Victorians are able to roam around, well, regional Victoria.

Victoria has more land area than most countries on earth. So, having the right kit to get around it is important.

Essentials may include things like portable fridges, freezers and stoves, inverters which allow you to power sensitive devices such as laptops and battery chargers, torches, lighting, powerbanks and dash-mounted mobile phone holders.

For serious travel, you can power your outdoor life and get free electricity from the sun with folding solar panels.

Electronics expert at Shepparton’s Jaycar Electronics, Chris Lane, said domestic travel around the state was likely to boom with overseas travel off-limits, and having the right gear was essential.

“There are some really simple appliances that make road trips very comfortable,” he said.

“Some of the new portable fridges and freezers have superb energy efficiency, and a portable stove means you can cook, wherever you are.”

Jaycar Electronics is a wonderland of electronic products. It’s the type of store where you discover all the things you didn’t know you wish you had, then leave with more than you expected and with a big smile.
