Hi everyone,
Warm Greetings!
I've (We!) been lurking for a while now, just enjoying the regular posts and collective wisdom found on the
forum.
By way of introduction, my wife and I, as
well as our two kids (2 & 6) enjoy camping, cruising about the country side and doing a bit of walking as we go.
Our latest adventure was down to
Halls Gap, where do covered a good many of the
walking tracks over a week long stay.
At this point in time we have a Cameron canvas on road camper trailer, pulled by a Ford Falcon. In the next 12 months we hope to waive a magic wand over both, turning the Ford into a pre-loved Prado or Pajero and the on road camper into an off road version. Our plan is then to use a three month long service leave break to explore...
However, before all of that happens, we plan to head out of
Adelaide for a month, for the 30 days prior to
easter, returning on
easter Friday - hopefully to meet the logjam of cars heading out of SA.
The original theory was to head off on the Great Ocean Road, at a leisurely pace, maybe taking in a few sights with the backpack and kids in tow. We were then thinking of doing the Victorian High Country.
Well, that was before the fires hit.
To that end, we're now looking for suggestions - bearing in mind we have the two wheel drive, where would you head and how would you structure the trip if you had a month out of
Adelaide?
Looking forward to any suggestions and related banter!

Suggest along coast to Mt Gambier.
Nelson, Narrawong,
Port Fairy, Warrnambool - all great
places to stay and explore. Then Great Ocean Rd - lots of possible
places to stay along there. Explore the Bellarine Peninsula and
Geelong. Then up to
Ballarat. Then along to the Grampians/
Halls Gap . Then
home. You will find that will fill 30 days - and then some. Weather should still be fine then - most years we do not get winter until later than
Easter. I stress - most, not all!
None of those areas are fire affected (touch wood) and by then, the real fire season should be over.
