My Christmas will be spent less than 20kms from home at a place called Broken Creek Bush Camp. I will be testing out everything 12 volt and generator friendly for $10 dollars a night.

Because of so many accidents on the road involving caravans I think the drivers should be made to do a revision course in towing over a certain limit!!

Have decided to take the plunge. De-cluttering big time. Just took a load to the op shop. Selling what I can on ebay, eventually the house furnishings. When all this has gone, house on market.
