HI EVERYONE we have now bought a generator. thanks everyone for helping in a previous post. My next question: those of you who travel with a generator - can the generator stay in the back of the ute when it is on or does it always have to be put on the ground somewhere? thanks.

We are going up to Bundaberg area in October and would like some tips on where to find some nice free camping or reasonably priced caravan parks. Preferably where the mad fisherman (hubby) will catch some fish. Is Burnett Heads any good? AilleenH.
