Hi John and Val ,

edition 3 is very useful, edition 5 has many more entries.

Cheers

John

Also the later editions have GPS coords for many campsites, so if you are using some form of GPS navigation that can come in very handy.

Cheers,

Val

Hi John & Val.
Camps 5 is certainly the go.
It would also pay to update the changes.Many overnight spots have disappeared.I spent a few hours this morning updating my copy.
Cheers.

i know roadhouses are noisy but they have facilities, do i have to pay to use them or are there any circumstances or situations required to use them, washing machines showers etc, we are self contained but when on the road a good shower is sometimes required even on a budget such as ours

overnight is what i want freedom is what it gives us cheers

just remembering that a lot of these road side rest areas do get very full with heavy vehicles especially at night.travellers need to be aware that these rigs come and go at ALL hours of the day and night and sometimes you need to be aware that these drivers use these areas because they are required by law to have their rest breaks.
now don't get me wrong, these areas are open to all vehicles, but you will find as there aren't that many which are big enough to accommodate large trucks these areas are usually full up. all most of us heavy vehicle drivers ask for from the public is move to the end of the rest area when you come in and not park in the middle of them,cheers.
