Not sure if this comes under 'budget' - but as a cheaper alternative to the caravan parks in Broken Hill I'll put it in. It's in Camps 6 NSW 1074. It's now $25 a night powered or $22 without.

Gday... I am so glad I travel in the quiet, sparsely populated, beautiful, natural areas of this wonderful country. I am beginning to wonder just where our society is heading ... if, in fact, it is heading anywhere worthwhile. The headlines on the news and papers show almost nothing but assaults, kil...
