For me two places stand out ( more will come to mind, but I'm a senior so I am having a moment) 1 Mataranka, a stunning spot I thought, the springs are usually full of grey nomads immersed in the warm water, the meals at the resaurant were fantastic and the Van Park though a bit on the dusty side was very clean...

Stockman pod trailer

Although I'm happy with sleeping in the back of my x-trail. I'll never have room to upgrade from an esky to a fridge, plus I can't store extra things on a roof rack because I can't physically get things down.
