Stop coal exports

Australia exported $91.4 billion worth of coal in 2023-24

The coal industry employed around 50,600 people in .

And replace that with what?

Does anybody still use tents in campgrounds?

Not many.
I used to see Burleigh Heads Rudd Park ( called Mud Park by the locals) fill up each holidays with hundreds of tents , all heavy canvas , dozens of rough ropes and wooden pegs. They all had a great time.



Cheers

The victorian government has spent $13 million on these bins.
Nothing special just made of metal $300,000 each.

Correct, but sink and hot/cold water inside, and don't forget the cabin heater.
As we cook on induction, we can cook inside easily.

One daughter has a tent, the other a swag.

But you have a all cooking and fridge outside.  A sort of geriatrics camper trailer?   :laugh:  I think I get it, and probably warmer in winter too.

It definitely seems that camper trailers are on the way down in numbers.
We went from a CT to a hybrid and love it.
It is small enough to fit in our garage, but it the comfort of hard walls and roof, no more canvass.
Plus we can sit inside on a normal seat.

While there might be an increase in the number of lightly-used units on the market, I wouldn't expect to see much difference in the number on the road.

I expect to see a lot of lightly-used caravans and hybrids on the market as people return to their preferred holiday style.

Leafz & I had this conversation while we were away seeing the number of full-size vans & also motorhomes on the roads & in parks everywhere, & it's also been mentioned on here several times over the last few years as well.

But when ???

By all accounts, o'seas travel is taking off (;D) again, but the number of vans doesn't seem to be diminishing! We visited the Outdoor Expo at Maryborough while we were there & it was massive, with quite literally acres of mainly vans, but also CTs & Hybrids on display.

Up to youngest sons Friday for the night at Baldivis, and go & see the Terracotta Warriors. Then back to Perth for Saturday night to see Russel Morris, farewell tour. Both well worth the money in our opinion. Russell Morris was spot the under 60s & hardly any under 50, wife counted around 15. Bloody good show though.
