Vic registered caravans
(Preview)
Over the years, I have seen quite a few Victorian registered caravans being towed by vehicle with other state registrations - mainly NSW tugs. With the Corona Virus and the border closures, I wonder how they are getting on up North now - are they being pulled over by the police as they travel along?

Hume accom advice.

Hi all, any advice on overnight accommodation along the Hume Hwy between Syd & Vic? We are moving to Tassie with our two cars & a caravan, so will need easy turn & parking access. We can't stay in the van as it will be full stuff. A nice quiet B&B or motel. Any advice would be great.
