This is a good article that warrants comment.. and to be honest I personally hope the Wizzbang renters never discover the beauty of the outback.. I also hope that the outback business community wake up the the fact that they need find ways to get our $$$$$ off us instead of looking for ways of stopping us...

What to choose!
(Preview)
We are going to travel around Oz in a couple of months and don't know which would be better. A caravan or a pop up van or camping. We are planning on going for at least a year. No pets or kids. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Allana

We are wanting to set ourselves up so that we can use Free Camps. Can anyone please tell us what would be the minimum we would need to be able to run an airconditioner and microwave oven ? We don't have a lot of money, and would like to be able to go away more often without paying for caravan parks all the time....
