Is it time to hit the road?
(Preview)
Hi my name is Anthony and I have been looking at this site for a while. Thinking that it may be time to hit the road. Worked all my life and now just sold a business and maybe I should hit the highway and the dirtways. Should I get a caravan or motorhome these are my choices. Each has their plus's and minus's...

Beaconsfield & O'Neills Reserve
(Preview)
Beaconsfield Showgrounds Camps6 #263 is similar to all the free camps down the West Tamar Highway in that the hours are between 5pm & 9am making for a quick stopover, nothing wrong with that but lacking in the fellowship that exists where longer stopovers are available. Beaconsfield has a huge a...

There is a listing in Camps6 #262 as a rest area but it used to be a really good overnight camp site. I have been told that the owner of Low Head caravan park has lobbied the council regarding the closure of this and several other free camps in the area, so Low Head is good park to avoid. The Batman Bridge join...
