Not really keen on staying in Caravan Parks being squashed and living in the neighbours lap, but the closest National Park I can find is about 45kl away, does anyone know of any places to stay closer to the Gold Coast we are planning on meeting up with our daughter in town for a few days in June.

Hi Guys, I want to a buy either a towing rope or snatch strap just in case I need to be towed for what ever reason or get bogged. I don't want cheap or high cost. Any ideas, looked at Dyneema rope but think it will be at premium price also not sure what would be a suitable length. Thanks John.
