Unless we get an unseasonal cold snap, a light sleeping bag should do the trick when sleeping in the camper van. I suspect that on many nights you won't even crawl into this.

The most scenic road will most probably be the one that you are taking on the way down. It depends on what type of scenery interest you. Having said that, if you return through Albury/Wodonga you can call into Canberra and look at the Capital. It is just a few hours run then from Canberra to Sydney. As with most travelling holidays, time is going to be your enemy. You will wish for more time when you get around Lakes Entrance and the Great Ocean Road. Being our peak holiday season accomodiation fees can increase by 50% and vacancy rates almost zero in the popular locations. For example, a powered site at a beach caravan park on the south coast of NSW is AUD32.00 per couple while an unpowered site is AUD28.00. After about the 28th January this will drop to AUD22.00 and AUD18.00. Not sure how these prices compare with motel prices. If I can be of any more help just ask.

Thanks Bob, looks like my travelling insticts are still coming through good chosing that route. Being doing it since I was a kid on a bike, then hitchhiking, and finally trying out the Aussie continent.

And when he arrives, this is the discreet vehicle that will be seen cruising around NSW and Vic :eek:

Well when I originally suggested wicked campers, I MAY have accidentally forgotten to mention, that they are a bit hard to lose in a carpark!!!

Goodness gracious me what a picture

Do you sell the whitewash stuff in Aus. the kind that you can put on glass and then rub off at a later date. The old fashioned stuff.

Just spend 2 days driving on NSW backroads and the vehicle will be red, no need for camoflage (Victorian roads are much cleaner )

Just travel at night but be careful of the roos.

My daughter, a retired WPC, rings me up to give me a warning. It would appear in Europe (France particularly) gangs are roaming caravan parking sites and injecting gas (anesetic type) into the mobile caravans at night, making the occupants unconscious and then stealing their possessions.

Heard anything like that in Australia?

(PS I told her no problem its so warm I reckon we would have our windows open so gas would disperse)

Nope nothing like that. You'll only get gassed in your van over here if you let loose a fart in the night. :eek:

Seriously though, WADR to your daughter, it sounds a bit like an urban myth to me.

I have heard of the gassing before many years ago in parts of Europe but never in Australia, maybe a new career path for someone
The worst I have ever encountered was in Oodnadatta many many moons ago when I went to fill up with petrol and was called aside by the owner of the servo whose Mrs jacked up the price on the bowser, Bastards.

[Grunt]

Thanks John, this is just what I need to suppliment my income and pay for my tool addiction.
