Must stay caravan spot

Depends what you and your ladies like to do (apart from fishing). Your must stays will be different to mine. To me, the real Australia is inland and centre, where there are fantastic places to see. Particularly in WA where apart from a few key places, the coastal route has least features of interest and has the amazing Kimberley and scenic Pilbara. Our five month six states/territories partial lap last year touched the coast at Darwin, and didn't get near the sea again until the Nullarbor Cliffs.

Youngsters are usually fascinated by dinosaurs, and central north Queensland has a rich history and displays. Unless i am way of the mark with your daughter's tastes, i would include Boulia, Winton and Hughenden in your tour. They would probably also like gemstone fossicking, and there are plenty of places to do this, but again away from the coast.

Hi
Two of my favourites are Agnes Water north of Bundaberg and Rollingstone North of Townsville.
I am sure you will find many more in your travels.
Good Luck.

Bedrock Caravan Park, Mt Surprise, Queensland. Not a fishing spot, not on the coast but a great spot - great hospitality from Jo & Joe & staff.

Heading North about from Brisbane:- Bungle Bungle National Park (scenic and walks), Kununurra (fishing), Derby Golf Course (if your a golfer) or Derby for crabbing and trip to Horizontal Water falls by sea plane), El Questro (gorges and walks), Cape Leveque (scenic and fishing), 80 Mile beach (giant salmon - mid May to mid June), Point Samson (fishing and crabbing), Karajini National Park( scenic and gorge walks etc). Seen them in 2006 and 2008 and will be there again next year (hopefully).

Agnes Waters / 1770 is a good spot as mentioned above. While you are in that area Deppwater National Park is a nice spot - on the beach and if you time it while its not school holidays you should have the place to yourself. Also a bit further up the coast is Red Rock. It is on the entrance to Byfield NP (Near Yeppoon) on the way to 5 Rocks. If you have a 4WD you can drive up onto 9 Mile Beach for a look, but last i heard they closed down alot of the camping areas on the beach itself.

In WA, Esperance is an absolutley beautiful spot. All along the South West coast of WA is apparently a good experience also - I can give you an update after christmas as we are touring that area this year.

Just about anywhere if you are going once We took a year and didnt see it all.
