Around Aus trip

Hi Pat

If you have mobile internet, keep in touch as you go and ask about specific areas you are approaching re good free camps. Otherwise your question is too broad.

I also have tips on how to find your own camping spot on my website; in my profile. We tend to find our own, and resort to camps books or websites as a last resort, or sometimes check ahead of time in case there are any really good ones off the beaten track in that area. However the best knowledge of special places comes from forums when i say where we are heading.

Hi Pat,

We did the trip April last year in a camper trailer and did not require power, water, or toilet either. It's a great way to travel.

We found that there were heaps of wonderful free camp sites. Our source was mainly from Camps Australia, the internet & word of mouth.

Funnily enough, because we were completely self sufficient we often used Camps Australia in a kind of reverse logic, if I can put it that way. By this I mean sites that were highly recommended for their facilities we avoided like the plague and had some absolutely wonderful camping experiences.

Internet while travelling is a great thing too. We found the Telstra prepaid stick system pretty good.

You're obviously starting to ask questions & research now, which is a smart move. Get a file going so as to keep the information at your finger tips and you will do just find.

thanks Wayne, we tried a vodafone prepaid stick and couldnt get coverage in the city so have ditched that one, will look at the telstra stick closer to leaving.

We also use paid camping so I can catch up on washing etc if no laundry mat available, and also to top up on water. Agree with the hot shower, nothing like a nice long hot shower.

I have started a file and hence why I asked the question on here to check out places that are a must see, could see, or should avoid.

thanks for the advice
