I've been thinking of doing the Big Lap but after reading a lot of forums and wiki camp comments , it seems to me that Caravan Parks are running Australian Towns ?? I would like to 50/50 pay and free camp but not where Caravan Park owners tell me to. Is this true.??????

Heading off again this week for almost 3 weeks. Not sure where exactly - don't care. Probably north of Adelaide, Flinders Ranges perhaps? This week I fitted an inlet silencer for the Diesel heater.
