We are finally leaving
Melbourne and heading somewhere warmer. Had decided some time ago to go north & west to arrive somewhere along the coast of wa. I wanted earlier to travel the southern coast to say Margaret River and then up, but ken says it is too cold and wet and windy now.
We are traveling in a camper trailer, so wet is not good. Cold is okay for the trip, but windy makes it very hard to
cook. Is it really too late to head this way, and better to just head north and cut across when we get far enough up?

kathy,
I'm a little surprised that you have experienced problems with wind when cooking. What sort of camper trailer have you got?
Our camper is a fairly simple arrangement with a cupboard mounted to the inside of the rear tailgate, which opens up 90° and the gas stove, etc., sits on this.
What works really
well though, is a canvas end wall which when used in conjunction with the rear annex, provides a practical wind break. The camper even has a section that can be attached to the bottom of the rear trailer and the ground to stop wind from blowing underneath the trailer, providing a comfortable area in most climatic conditions.
I enjoy the freedom of outdoor cooking and wouldn't have it any other way.
Bill.
