Wondering if we could get a list together on where to get good quality water along the road. Can stock up on food, and have power from solar and there are numerous dump points, But lack of water sends me scurrying back to CP's after about 3 days. Are there any water friendly places you have come across?

Hi one and all. Yes, I was back o' Bourke Marj, and out of range. We've travelled a long way, again because we couldn't find a camp we were happy with. None of us like to camp at rest stops right beside the highway, and we didn't want to pay for a CP, so we just had breaks and kept on going. When we left 4 Mile Res...

Ok I'm a virgin grey nomad with a silly question! If I buy a NON Offroad camper trailer, lets say a jayco, can I still tow it with say a Toyota Hi-lux 4x4 or Holden Rodeo 4x4. I don't really need offroad capability as I'm sticking to the bitumen for the forseeable future. cheers Hats Lewis

Despite being in 2012 Qld caravan park guide and Caravan Park on the post at beginning of road, Harts CP has closed down. Leaves two CPs only in Warwick - there are no signs to say it is closed. Just 'No Entry - private property' - bit rude.
