We are looking at selling our caravan on consignment and were wondering if any here have done the same? What does it involve and how do they calculate their fees? At this stage we have not approached a company but perhaps in the New Year.

Does anyone know if there is phone & internet access at Boynedale campground? Also where is the new access road into the campground on the Calliope River near Gladstone? I think you can't go across the old bridge since we were there last. Any advice appreciated.
