Read an article in the Saturdays edition of the Daily Telegraph Sydney, today. Re: Leting out your Driveway / Backyard for $15- $30 a night to make ends meet.
I think this would help out everyone.
1. Pensioners with big back yards needing a bit of CASH.
2. Caravaners / campers get a good deal, especially around our capital cities, with a shortage of sites.
This young guy has started a web site, that people can join. I think its called BACKYARD CAMPS or HOME CAMPS. Someone may help me on that one.
I would consider it for Melbourne at Xmas time as the tennis is allways on in January.
As you have bucklies of getting a site near the city. If you do score its as tight as a drum and costs are outragus to boot.

I thought I would have a bit of gander on the Home-Camp site.
May have potential for many travellers ... but my budget certainly would not stretch to them
Have a gander for yourselves

$20 would need to be the maximum,but maybe some character references may be applicable for owners,
especialy if the house toilet is to be used and open all night.

We have had people on this forum trying to sell their front lawn at caravan prices , For my money a caravan park would be much better than someone front lawn

Hmm food for thought. I have given up travelling for a while but have rented a property right in batchelor NT. Large yard, drive in one gate and out another. Shady and across the road from 2 police residences and walking distance to all facilities. I have two over friendly dogs though and you'd need an on board loo. Dump site is close. Room for two vans. Thinking 15 per night per van or 10 if you stay for more than 3. Does that sound fair? Pm me if you would like to know more. I'd particularly like to help pensioners like myself.

Hi brickies,
We have met many long time friends on our travels from WA, SA. we know them so well, that we extend our home and back yard to them, totally secured.
We have a hard floor stand full concrete with both Power + water and direct connection to the sewer. If they do not have the luxury of an ensuit, our second bathroom + laundry is at their disposial.
We have the best times here. They can walk to catch the train 10min, or bus into the city, catch a ferry to the city and onto Manly or where they ever they want. They come and go at will, at no cost. Its a reciprocal arrangement. We have such a big FAMILY I tell the COUNCIL to GET STUFFED. IF they have a Problem. Put it in Writing. Eight years down the track. Shut up OR PUT UP. never had a problem.
Still looking for the VIC connection.
