A LIFESTYLE CHANGEWe were tired. An overnight trip on the Spirit of Tasmania II had provided only limited sleep. That was due to the people in the next cabin seemingly partying on until after 2:00am... and a partner who said No, leave it be, don't cause problems. Morning arrived, we were off the ship, h...

I would thoroughly recommend this CP. It is quiet, peaceful, well set out and clean. There is a lovely lawned area where all the vans etc are lined up around in a semi circle kind of configuration, beautiful creek walks, and the BBQ area is something very different. Saturday night a huge fire pit is set g...

We have just purchased a caravan shade annex from Campshades (Julie Dunkley), service is excellent, she is very precise regarding measurments and the finished product is A1.

Tavern on Turton - delicious Garfish and Squid meal for $22. A new tavern, play area for kids, large dining area, and a very short walk from the CP Bakery at Turton - just as you get to the built up area. Bread cobs, buns, and cakes baked daily, open 7 days, has petrol and diesel. Great little CP beside the je...

On arriving in Wauchope last week we looked (on the Internet) for an electrician, preferably mobile, who has experience with 12v systems - not just an auto-electrician - to fix our rear-view camera connection. We contacted Patrick Rodgers, Rodgers Marine Contracting, Port Macquarie; mob. 0408 8...

Hi travellers, As we are about to blast off on our first extended journey we thought it prudent to have a bed made up permanently in the back of the Sprinter (Whizz Bang) rather than the assortment of foam seats and cushions that we up to date have arranged for our sleeping comfort (?). We contacted the H...

We are planning to be in SA for about 8 months this year leaving Melb about the early April. We spent some time in SA a couple of years ago around the Limestone coast area. We free camp mostly but use CP from time to time as needed. Now comes the ask, we realized that we know very little about this state, so if...
