Try here for some info.

Hi Hunty01, depending on what sort of tyres you have on the WRX and what sort of spare wheel/tyre you have ( I believe WRX's have a space saver spare). You may want to take a spare full size rim and tyre with you, some of the tyres for performance cars may be hard to get around the back blocks, likewise belts hoses and an air cleaner element. I have seen Mini Mokes and a Subaru Outback on the Gibb RR, but they had pretty tough tyres and suspension for that trip. Places like Karajini National Park in the Pilbara are definately worth a look, Dales Gorge camp site wouldn't be a problem for you. Good luck to you, Kanga.

Hunty,

We covered a lot of that route in 08 and 09 - have a look at our blogs, but we would endorse Mick O's suggestions. Rocky Pool east of Carnarvon is a good camp spot. Further south the National Parks are must see places - Stirling Ranges, Fitzgerald River and Cape le Grande are easily accessible with spectacular scenery.

Have a great trip,

Val.

Wow Hunty - sounds like a fantastic honeymoon. Lucky woman!

Take half of what ever you decide you need - and try to ensure it is the lightest option available (ie plastic plates instead of ceramic).

Once you leave home you will find that many of the items you think are essential never get used until you return (in my case make-up or any clothing more dressy than jeans but I am old and can just avoid looking in a mirror too often!!)

You wont need to pack too much food either as even the smallest towns have a 'supermarket' of some kind or a pub to eat at. (It may not be the kind of place you are used to).

It is a honeymoon after all so take the time to enjoy each others company and be prepared to be flexible as to one anothers needs and feelings.
I have to agree with one of the other answers - champagne, silk sheets..... and the other items sound pretty good to me too!

Hope you have a memorable and enjoyable trip.

Regards,

Heather

G/Day Hunty

The Cook and I spent our Honeymoon in Nth QLD, it was 1969 we had a 3mx3m Tent, a Kerosene Pressure Light, a Kero Stove an Esky and Two Camp Chairs, we slept in our 1964 EH Holden Station Wagon, I used to back it under the tent in the evening, we even went through a severe storm one night, I stood in my underpants holding on to the Centre Pole so the tent wouldn't blow away, we have great memories, and so will you and your bride to be.

Cheers

Cheers for all the replies peeps!!!

Since we were both suffering with a great head cold which ment the weekend was spent inside the house, we decided to start on our itinary, not just surfing the net as we only have got about 13 weeks till we take off. So out came the camps book, info and the internet (gota love this site!!!). We pretty much have the jist of the adventure sorted now. Town to town, distances and a good approx of nights that we want to spend at most of the locations. Oh and a house sitter organised too!!

We can pretty much say were gona love the trip even before we have even left. Gona just have to throw in a few more little camps before we go just to make sure were sorted with everything. Bring on Easter trip to York Peninsula.

Once again thanks Peeps!!!
