Just found this awesome site when looking for info on the Transcool Air Coolers.
We (Jen and Sol) are not quite Grey Nomads yet, but are working on it:
Tully is our home town and we do heaps of camping with our Vista RV Crossover whenever possible.
Look forward to enjoying the chat with all you guys and gals.
Cheers Sol
Welcome to the site! It is great for communicating with other grey nomads & sharing information. There is a wealth of knowledge out there and many helpful people should you have a query.
Thanks for the greetings grandpabob, Anton and Doug. If anyone wants any info about this area, like camping, places to visit or stay, weather etc, we are more than happy to answer any questions for you.
I had the best Thai Pumpkin Soup I have ever had at a little Motel in Tully a few years back Sol, very nice indeed. Not a bad Motel either. I haven't been in a motel since. I asked the Chef what was in it and he said he would have to shoot me if he told me. I have tried different things but never quite the same.

Doug, I see you have an Avan. I have a few customers that have them as well. If ever you are up this way let me know and I'll give you their addresses. I know of one couple that are in the Avan club up here in Nth Qld.
Brickies, I'll do that for sure. There's some really nice National Parks, Caravan Parks and Campgrounds up this way. Will put some up for you and the websites tonight mate. I'm supposed to be working
Hello Sol - welcome to the forum. You live in a lovely part of Queensland - although I have only driven through so far (I used to live in Townsville and had friends in Innisfail area) - I am planning to get back up that way, but not for a couple of years unfortunately.

brickies, Here are a few to start with. Murrayfalls Campground. Beautiful large campground, great swimming, fireplaces,shower and toilets,rubbish bins. It's a National Park so no pets. This time of year it is invaded by Marchflies. Best time is April til September.
King Reef Caravan Park at Kurrimine Beach. Right on beachfront with a restaurant, bar and bottle shop. Great fishing just offshore and in Maria Ck. Crabbing is also good in the ck. At the other end of Kurrimine Beach is a council run park on beachfront with powered sites showers and toilets.
Mission Beach has a few caravan parks also. There is the Beachcomber which is a 4 star rated park right on the beach at South Mission Beach, Hideaway Caravan Park at Nth Mission. Woolworths, BWS, Chemist, Newsagent, Boat accessories, Clothing Shops and heaps of eateries are close by.
Tinaroo Dam up on the Atherton Tablelands is my favourite. There's a good Caravan Park up there and also camping around the dam at different National Park Sites.
