Caravan storage

Hi jimbo. There a few storage areas at Smithfield just north of cairns. Not too sure how secure they both are thought. One is a site near the James Cook University; don't know the name of it, but it is undercover. Have seen a few off road caravans parked there from time to time. Try this link; it may be what you could be after. The weather here is PERFECT. Kevin

Hi beachbum. I think you meant to leave the reply for 'jimbo'; I live here in FNQ at Clifton Beach. An easy and convenient stepping of point when we begin our trip around Oz. Life is good here in FNQ. Kevin

Two years ago we left ours at the Mareeba Rodeo grounds(six others as well) for four weeks,no charge if you stay the night before and the night you return.
They are put down behind the caretakers house,don't know if they still do it probably worth a ring.
Regards Ronnie

Jimbo I thought that I had replied to your request yesterday but stuffed up and actually replied to another poster. You can store your van at Lakeland which is at the end of the bitumen if you are going to the Cape via Laura, for $25.00 a week with no power connected or $36.00 per week if you want power connected. There are resident managers on site at all times. I also have been in touch today with the Manager at Mt Carbine which is a bit further south than Lakeland and they store your van for free if you stay a night before you leave for the Cape and a couple of nights on your return. They charge $2.00 per day if you want power connected during your absence. Their nightly rate is $16 for two persons. We will be leaving our vans at Mt Carbine for a month from late July. I prefer this option rather than drag the van up the range between Mt Carbine and Lakeland and also have been to Cooktown previously and have no need to stay there again but it is certainly worth a visit.

As said,

Mt Carbine caravan park, you will not find nicer managers than these guys. They do a free bush walk every afternoon-even if you're the only one there. Felt like we were leaving the van with family (better ;-)
