Drove past the Big Pineapple on numerous occasions while staying at Palmwoods, every time I passed there were car loads of tourists pulled up outside scratching their heads at the closure of the attraction. It has obviously been closed for quite some time judging by its state of disrepair yet it is...

What time do you leave camp in the morning?
(

)
(Preview)
We were woken in caravan parks by people packing up before daylight on the last 2 mornings. Maybe they have to drive long distances. Well we are on holidays so we get up around 7 and go when we are ready, not usually driving more than 300k's a day. What sort of timetable do other Grey Nomads keep?
