I was in Dymocks Bookstore today and saw this publication, Camping Around Australia (spiral) which seems very similar to Camps Australia Wide. It was priced at $44.95, less $4.50 for Seniors = $40.95 Does anyone use this publication and how do they find it, see; http://www.exploreaustralia.net....

This Easter weekend we went to the West Beach Caravan Park Adelaide to visit family. We were a bit concerned from what we heard & read about the $5.00 visitors fee.
