Hi, does anybody know any interesting routes to take for 1-2 weeks from the Coffs Harbour/Urunga area, taking in different roads, not just up and down the coastal track? Also would be nice if we could keep company with some other caravanners on such a circuit. Thank you Burrawong

I was wondering if any of us have recently purchased either a new or close to new van recently and were able to obtain much of a saving.
