Trying to travel along the coast of Queensland and have found it hard to stay in nice pet friendly parks. Golden Beach Caloundra is the outstanding exception. Friendly to humans and dogs.

I see that today's GN story is about two accidents over the long weekend involving caravans and sway. Such incidents occur far too often. By the same token, a lot of GNs on the forum have been towing a rig for many years and many thousands of kilometres without incident, so what's their secret?

We wonder why we as a group are not wanted in some areas. This sort of thing gives us all a bad name. ...and then there is the grey water. There is a large parking area just outside the car park where they could have parked and let the grey water run out onto grass.
