Hi Troy,
My list of
places to see are as follows;
VIC
Lakes Entrance,
Mallacoota and the WW2 museum there,,
NSW
Whaling Museum at Eden (must see), Stay at the big 4
Merimbula as it is virtually on
the beach.
Tathra maritime museum (never been there), Tilba Tilba (must see), Navy Aircraft museum at Nowra definitely must see, Berry, a walk through the town, bypass
Wollongong and
Sydney unless you want to have a look there in which case you could stay at one of the north side caravan parks in
Wollongong.
If staying in
Sydney then try the Lane Cove National Park van park at Lane Cove. Need to look up the address on the web. Anywhere in
Sydney the traffic will ruin your stay.
Newcastle is an interesting place for a look around but there again try the
tourist info centre for specific info. Williamstown Air base I think they have an aircraft museum, Tea Gardens just north of
Newcastle,
Crowdy Head just north of
Taree,
Diamond Head accessed from Kew,
South West Rocks but if you are caravanning stay at
Hat Head and travel around to see the local sights and change locations if you wish.
Camp ground at
Hat Head is the quietest around here and is peaceful.
Make sure you have a copy of Camps Australia if you don’t already have one and refer to it often as you travel. If you use a GPS make sure you have paper maps as a backup which are usually free from local tourist info centres.
Make sure you stop in at New Italy on the Pacific Highway about 10 kilometres short of
Woodburn and 20 kilometres after Maclean. They serve a good burger or sit down meal,
well at least they did a few years ago. They have a museum there as a tribute to the early Italian migrants to the area and is
well worth a look.
QLD
After that all I know of is
Cardwell (wife maiden name) which is a lovely little town right on the top end of Hinchinbrook Island,
Tully where I was amazed at the density of the jungle (tropical rain forest) From
Innisfail turn left and go up along the top of the divide through Mila Mila and Milanda. That was an eye opener as
well. A warning here is that the road down into
cairns was a very winding narrow road back when I went there. Do not know what it is like today. Others here will be able to help with more recent info.
Hopefully others will come in and fill the gaps I have left and with up to date info.
Cheers, Bruce.

All of the above but do stop in a park or
free camp north of
Wollongong and do day trips in and around the city and suburbs this place is a real gem and a hive of activity, in saying that it is easy to get around as
