Easter 2008

Keadys

Don't expect to front up to good parks in Adelaide or Melbourne in school holidays without a booking, but in the regional areas a phone call a day or two ahead should do it. Its not like Broome or Kununurra in July - you need to book the most popular towns up north months ahead, but in Vic & SA for the funny scattered Easter holidays this year especially you should have no problems.

Half your luck - enjoy the journey.

Hi Keady clan

Deadlines can spoil holidays.

We have rarely found a CP too full for us to get in, nor a designated free camp (use Camps Australia Wide 4 to help you if you can't find your own good spots). The only time we had to move on was at Lucky Bay east of Esperance in January - we couldn't get our rig in so drove inland and camped in the bush.

We free camp much of the time, but in some areas it can be difficult to find good spots. National Parks are not often free, but can be low cost quiet alternatives - mostly no facilities or just pit toilets.

We have travelled in school holidays both in 2005 and 2006 and generally found plenty of room without ever needing to book. They may be exceptions in prime coastal holiday locations, but we tend to avoid where the masses congregate. I think this would mainly apply to popular places along the east coast, which is not in your itinerary.

This way you are free to go or stay as you please and choose what you like when you get there.

Enjoy your travels.
