Beach front places to stay in a van
(Preview)
Hidee ho fellow travellers, We are looking for a pet friendly place to stay that has absolute water frontage (preferably ocean) but river or lake is fine too. We live near Nambucca Heads, would want to travel two to four hours either north or south, and we are able to free camp. Cheers, Gwizz.

Husband and I have just made the decision to sell up, and travel Oz, but now I'm a bit worried about everything! How do you get rid of a lifetime of possessions quickly, how do you know where to go first, how does someone who has never even backed a trailer deal with a caravan? How long does this feeling last...
