I am planning a visit to Dougie's Place at Easter, but see that he has been deleted from the forum, so I can't PM him. Does he have a new name perhaps? I have an old email address I have tried, will have to see if he responds to that. Dunmowin

Anyone know of a good caravan site for Christmas time around the Rosebud area?

Don't think we'll be staying at Smith's Beach Resort Caravan Park in Yallingup near Busselton in W.A. At $600 - $800 @ night for a powered site it's out of our league.
