Just after opinions on what others do..... We will be heading to the North Coast NSW and Qld coast in July and August. We only use caravan parks and usually stay about 3-4 days each place. Should we book ahead and if so how far in advance???? Just wondering what others do.

We are caravaning to Darwin in a couple of weekstime leaving from Port Augusta. Could anyone please give us an indication of any reasonable priced places [caravan parks etc] to use as a base to look around Darwin. We are on the pension and don't want to pay the earth and cut our stay short.

Hi. I noticed that holidays to Fiji were very cheap at the moment, probably due to the cyclone they had. Has anybody been there recently? I am interested in your views. Thanks, Bill
