Hi from the other side


Of the world that is. My wife and I travel around the UK and Europe in an American 5th wheel.

However this October we are spending 3 weeks in a rented camper starting out from Sydney. I thought that by joining this forum

I could pick up tips, what to see/do etc, so please be gentle with an ageing pom. smile

welcome to the forum KountryLite (Mark). I am not a traveller as such so I can not give you a whole lot of info.

However, there are plenty of people on here who can . Just ask the question and I am sure you will get the answers you need.

Once again welcome to forum and good luck.

Mongrel.

Welcome to the forum KountryLite. My first question is how do you manage to 'fit' an American 5th wheeler on some of your UK roads? We saw one in Dawlish one year and couldn't work which road it had come in by! My first comment would be that my English cousin can never get over how many kms it is between towns in Australia. So expect long hours behind the wheel but also enjoy the scenery as you go because it will be much different to what you are used to. And I'd say caravan parks are very different to UK too. So enjoy your trip and keep asking questions. This is a very friendly helpful forum.

Hello Mark and Mrs Mark  .. welcome to GN

October's a good time to visit Oz; most states enjoy their best climate around April or Sept/Oct.

Three weeks will of course give you just the barest taste of what we can offer. You probably realise that from Sydney you can travel 1900 miles north, 2500 miles west without leaving the roads, or (what many of us consider the "best bit") the Kimberley region is only 2800 miles away!

As your plans advance, if you'd like more help just give us an idea of your preferences, direction and distances you'll be heading and the tips will flow!

Enjoy it all
