Hi everyone,
 Just interested to see who is heading where over the school holidays.
We are doing our first trip in our KK to Nindigully Pub, and St George and surrounds.
Safe travels wherever you are heading.

You can just call up and say g'day, it's so close. Moonee is lovely, though the front slopes more than is reasonable for a camp ground.

You can still can take the pooches. Looking forward to pretending to know how to fish and while the Swifty is all set up heading to the big green shed in Coffs to do a few little mods to her. Don't have any space at our house to do any work on it easily.

Heading out to the Holland track with some mates and the kids. Perth to Hyden (wave rock) on the tarmac then 5 days of easygoing short 4wding and camping until we pop out at Coolgardie then back to Perth. Taking an old Kanga camper trailer that used to be mum and dad's. Must be nearly 20 yrs old and still works a treat!

Heading over the ditch - South Island NZ for some spring skiing at Cardrona (wanaka, near queenstown).
Then doing some sightseeing in this..

Campervan New Zealand - United 4 Berth Auto. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQB8gtFST5I#ws)

3rd time motorhoming in NZ since 2009, and have sniffed out all you need to know regarding which ones are the best to get over the years...and in the low season (up until Oct), there are good deals on.  Picked this up for $80Au/day -  gets a fully self contained, gas heated (can park away from power) motorhome.  Bamm!  No packing up, stop and eat where you want - transport & accommodation in one :cup:

Will need to watch approach & departure angles, and the ramp-over is poo......
I guess it's a lowered motorhome!!

bugger all free camping these days, they have clamped down on that, but the Dept of Conservation (DOC sites) range from free (rare) to $6p.p ($3 kids).  Equiv or our nat parks over here but heaps cheaper.
  We'll be doing a mixture of both, as some days we will need to plug in to get a good charge into the 2nd batt and to do washing

save this link as it as a cracker in terms off all camp sites - paid & free
