On the 25th June approx. I will be setting off on my travels Yet again! I am traveling solo and hopefully I will be able to hitch on a convoy of other travellers, I am all fully self contained, 4x4 caravan and 4x4 vehicle, free sites only, Intending to stay off the black tops as much as poss, Will be leaving from Bris going North, Anyone out there going my way??
Probably several thousands going your way, smiley, pop yourself into some of the free camps along the way for a few days, get talking to others, sometimes that is the way to go. Theodore in QLD (Leichardt Highway) is a good place to pull up for a few days - hot showers, water and nice company, 700m out of the town, all for a donation! One lady we know is there for a few weeks yet, she has a small Nissan van towing a trailer - say g'day if you meet up with her, Margaret from Tasmania. Have fun.

Hi Smiley, I've just stayed at a free camp in Bundaberg. Only has toilets and a few shaded picnic tables but was good for a night. Not sure if there is a time limit or not. Called the Bundaberg Lions Club Rest Area and is opposite the airport. I'm heading on north in a couple of days but I plan on staying as much as possible on the bitumen. I have an Xtrail but my camper is only a little one designed to go behind a motor bike so definitely not in the off road category. But hopefully we will meet somewhere. Chris
Welcome to the Forum, Smiley! There is a very nice freecamp just in from Mackay - Camps6 #60 - Boulder Creek. Also, #162 - Little Yabba Picnic Area near Kenilworth is pleasant. Enjoy the freedom!
Thanks to the replies I can't wait to get on the road again, Just got a couple of things to tie up, Would you believe that I went to get a satellite dish mounted on the caravan roof, only to be told the next day that they can't do it, there is a hatch in the way!! Now it's back to plan B an on the ground one, And I have to get a satellite phone before the end of the month, That's when the Gov grant expires, Then hopefully I will be able to set off on the 28th!!YEH xx
