My lovely Wife and myself [ both grey nomads ] are in the process of updating from van to motorhome to travel afar as a bit uneasy about towing van long distances. Hopefully will catch up with some fellow nomads along the way! All the very best to all!

Hi all, and Happy New Year. We are heading from Dubbo to Bateman's Bay and back over the Easter period and wondered which route would be best. We are in a Prado towing a 20ft Jayco Journey. I thought via Braidwood might be best, so any advice or comments would be appreciated.
