Tralier parking around Melbourne

Hey Bro

Isn't there a Caravan Park at Williamstown?


Cheers

I don't know where this is exactly, but I found it on another forum...

Depends on whereabouts in the city you want to park, because it might be better to park early (before 7 am) in a station car park. the regulars might be a bit annoyed, but if you only take up 2 car parks it won't cause too many problems. I see it quite often at Belgrave station, and even the occasional motor home overnight. Make sure usual security precautions are taken, but the cops also do a drive around a few times a day

Barring that, pick a nice quiet suburban street in a reasonable suburb preferably with signs that young kids are around,(more chance of people being home during the day).

Otherwise, try a self storage yard, as they might let you park there for a small donation

Can park next to my place, just bring the cheese. 5 minutes walk to the station, but we are in Zone 2 and about 40 minutes to the city by train (out Adam's side of town). Many of the suburban stations have unrestricted parking within a block or two's walk to the statio. I'd say check those stations that are about 6-8 stations from the city and still in zone one (about $6 a day ticket I think ... but then again you can get pensioner tickets ?? Haha). After a bit of searching you might find a station in zone one with a nice shady wide street about 3-4 minutes walk to the train station. Maybe a quick look in the Melways will be a start. Find one that is on the 'handy' side of the city for getting on the freeway out of here for you HC trips.

Thanks for your suggestions. As we are to drive towards Sydney for a Saturday night Top Gear event and combine for a break, we want to have the Karavan attached and be ready for a getaway after the Melbourne business. Yeh, probably about peak hour. Will get part way tomorrow night towards Harbourside. Will catch up with some friends up that way.

I have arranged to take up Willem's suggestion and the charger can be plugged in to support the power systems and a $25 day charge. The car could get fairly warm in the sun though

Hi John

Another usually overlooked location is on the eastern side about 1 km from our city house in Wantirna.

The Wantirna caravan park. Melways 63 F6

Its a fairly big open place backing onto large area of parkland and is quite a pleasant place.
It always seems to have lots of vans etc which look like they have just been parked with no services.

The public transport at the front door is bus to Micham or Ringwood station and nearby Knox city.

It fronts mountain highway and at the back is the new Eastlink which gives high speed access to the city and also Hi country.

Can't remember a single traffic light now from freeway right down to coming into Taralgon.
Was amazed how easy it was to get to Licola etc over long weekend.
