Not nominated in any of the camping guides but St Leonards Picnic Area close to Launceston is very handy for visitors to Launceston. Jules found out about it yesterday after talking to some locals visiting Lilydale. There is a dump point, free barbeque facilities and a toilet block. The camping is on...

Drove the 40kms from Scottsdale to Lilydale this morning stopping off at the Woolworths in Scottsdale to top up supplies. It is a beautiful trip along peaceful winding roads between paddocks and wooded areas. The camp site is nominated in Camps6 #1 as having showers, water and a 48hr camping availab...

A new year has begun and I am looking back briefly on the past 2 years of my new life. 2011 began with a plan to travel round Australia leaving the caravan park where I was staying in an onsite van and buying a vehicle to achieve that aim. I was able to buy the Hi Ace in January get it fitted out for travel and set...

The ranges would sort out any questions and the van didnt run overly hot and after it had cool...

Left Lagoons Beach early and made Bicheno the first stop, water was needed and groceries from IGA. Had a look at the blowhole but the sea was calm and had only small blows. Lovely area around the blowhole with rocks similar to the Bay of Fires with their red tones. All up a short trip of no more than 70kms. H...

We left Rivers & Rocks and drove to St Helens and I have to say the trip between Bicheno and St Helens on the Tasman Highway has the most beautiful beach scenery. Not spectacular as some but almost every twist and turn brings the ocean into stunning view. Scamander is a fine example of a small seaside...

It's very quiet on here at the moment. Is everybody still recovering from Christmas excesses? Perhaps I'll break the drought by saying that I'm currently in Canberra gearing up for Nana duty during January. I look after 1 or perhaps 2 grandkids while their mum runs a school holiday program. But i...

We were going into Freycinet National Park but decided to go past and secure a good site for Xmas and the New Year. The locals seem to set up caravans in good locations at free beaches and leave them unattended until their holidays arrive. As it happens there are plenty of sites available but better safe...
