Brrr, getting cold around the country, so it must be time for those southerners to head north again. :)
Is there any travellers (caravaners, camper trailers, buses/unimogs/combi vans etc) heading south or is it just too damn cold?
Any suggestions to where to spend the Qld school holidays leaving from Whitsundays (central coastal qld)? Looking for some more kilometres on the Pajero, maybe a quick reconnaisance to
Cape York.

Hi Andrew,
We havent seen winter yet as we came north (from South coast NSW) in Mid April and are currently in
Chillagoe which isnt cold at all. Had aircon going in van all day in
Cooktown last week - to us it was hot and humid, to the locals it was lovely and cool.
Haven't been out of shorts and t-shirts except for a few nights around the campfire around
Clermont.
We have to go
home early July so it will be a rude shock to have cold nights suddenly. Our
home town has been very wet, cold and miserable from all reports and the family dont have much sympathy when we complain about the humidity, heat etc!! lol
cheers,
Heather

We're off in about ten days. From
Melbourne to
Newcastle to team up with others, then up to Gunnedah to spend the night at an ald Army mates
farm. Next night at Moonie, then
Theodore, a great free stop, next to St.
Lawrence, a great stop too. Then we'll roll into
Home Hill, turn right, and go and prop at Groper Creek for the worst of the Southern Winter. Back
home in Sep. in time to play bowls !!!Cheers All.
