does anyone have suggestions for which route to take, places to camp, things to see or people to meet. We have 4 weeks to cover the distance so there is no rush. we have looked at the maps, consulted the book, and apps but there are so many options. i thought we would ask the ones that know, thanks.

We arrive in Sydney this Thurs 9th for 3 weeks. My wife is an avid watcher of a UK soap called "Emmerdale". She would be delighted to know if this is currently being screened on any Australian TV channel. It could well mean the difference to my health and safety. Mark

Just read a post on FB about a truckie pulling up in a designated truck stop north of Goondoowindi only to find it just about full of caravaners. He turned on his air-conditioner to have a sleep and about an hour later a knock on his window revealed a caravanner complaining about the noise. The truckie...
