G'dayGraham and Trudi and welcome to the forum from us as well. Don't forget to try the two ongoing games here - 'Who is This' in the 'I Digress' section and 'Pick this Place' in the 'General' Section - a great source to find new places to visit. Looks like you've tried the waters and like them .

Hi Micheal
I'm looking at becoming a grey nomad too so have been doing quite a bit of research. There is a good app you can download called wikicamps Australia for free and low cost camping. The cost of caravan parks varies depending on where you want to stay, the coast of course generally being more expensive. If you google free and low cost camping there are a number of sites. Plus of course the recommendations from everyone here.
All the best. Anne

Hi, Bill and Elaine here. We have been doing the winter thing from the NSW /Vict border for about 20 years now, we are on our 5th van, Crusader Semi Off road, bought new 6 years ago and still love it. Spend 5 months in the far North or West each year. Tow vehicle is an 18-month-old Toyota gxl twin cab v8 and will not swap that either.

Hello and welcome to the newbies, yes as a general rule caravan parks along the coast are dearer but there are low cost private camps aplenty as well as some very good national park campsites. Private campsites at youcamp.com/
