Where to go when it gets hot?

you going to the Boggers meet this year Northern NSW?

You could always come down to Tassie,cold one day,colder the next.Naa,its not that bad (all the time) but in summer you could get a few days up around 30 deg then the next few could get back down to 15deg.Never know from day to day.By the way,you gotta beat me to that Tats win,I got it all planned now,IF ONLY.

Try the South Coast.... Augusta, right through to Israelite Bay is a large area that has plenty of interesting off roading and vaning possibilities. AND the weather is mild in summer...

I'll probably be down at Bremer Bay for New Year.

Yep...agree with Pluto. From Port Augusta south to Port Lincoln and across to Ceduna there are heaps of isolated beach camp spots and some 4x4 tracks especially around Coffin Bay. Good fishing and and good fish shops and the weather stays mild.
Other places are the south coast of Victoria and up throiugh the Coorong in SA.

Motherhen, I apologise in advance for "lecturing" or "preaching" but in my early working life I, too, was bugged by end of FY accounting stuff (I'm a beanie), missing out on heaps of skiing holidays and I vowed that when I had the clout I'd do something about it. As it happened all my jobs after that were as CFO with US subsidiaries and the Yanks INSISTED that end of FY reports be in by the usual 5th working day and it forced us to implement first class procedures and disciplines and so the problem was made to disappear. These were $100-250m companies. End of Lecture.
"Bushtracker" pretty much means away from the coast where roads don't require a real caravan, but aren't there exceptions around WA's southwest cornercoastlines? We scratched the surface there with our Kimberley Kamper last year and, rightly or wrongly, assumed (dangerous) there would be plenty of opportunities for future away-from-it-all travel. Not so?
What size Bushtracker is it?

If you get to SA put some money aside and take the ferry to Kangaroo Is.
Spend some real time there not like the bus trippers.
Plenty of great walks, remote beaches,stunning headlands, birdwatching, echidnas crossing the road ahead, skippies galore and the occaisional goanna.
Campsites are good and the people friendly especially if the know you are staying awhile.
Because it's an Island it has cool weather most of the time even when the famous SA hot northerlies blow.
Cheerio,
Camper

Noting better than the Kimberly mid April. Be one of the first through when the road opens (GRR) and you will have the whole route to yourself. Fresh water in all of the creeks to have a wash. Crisp nights. Plenty of room to camp at Mitchell Falls.

And you are not driving in someone elses dust all day.

Where ever you go enjoy yourself.

Thanks guys for keeping the suggestions coming. It will be debated between my SWMBO (supercilious wicked male behaving obnoxiously - sorry guys - had to get that one in) and I whether its the costs East of Esperance where we haven't been, or Eyre Peninsula. Kimberley in April sounds tempting - but such a long way so may leave that till retirement (if i ever get there!). This Forum is addictive.
