Travelling the east coast in our caravan. In
Brisbane we stayed at Caboolture
Showgrounds and caught the train into
Brisbane. In
Sydney we stayed at Wanderest in
Richmond (real good
camp) and caught train to
Sydney.
Staying out of caravan parks, does anyone have any suggestions for
Melbourne where we might
camp and train it into the city?
Thanks in advance.

Mildew,
There was some discussion on this subject earlier this year, maybe since
Easter.
People were inquiring about 'van parks as they were going across to Tassie, and needed somewhere to
camp close to
ferry terminal.
Bob.

Couple of caravan parks in Carrum Downs, south of town, bus ride to train station. Also Frankston - Big 4 - bus to train station.
Showgrounds at Berwick - train in town. There are a couple north of the city as
well - Braybrook maybe -
Melbourne is a great place to visit- will be down there for a couple of weeks Mid October, before taking ferry to Tassy for five months. A lot to do in the city - Eureka Tower is a must!! Victoria Market - Sunday market at
St Kilda Esplanade - a boat ride up the Yarra, and always so much happening in the parks and streets in town -
Makes me a bit homesick - but no, not really - love my life on the road, don't think I could live in a house again!!

You will have difficulty finding any free or very cheap camps within reach of
Melbourne. We have done very
well in
Bendigo for very reasonable priced caravan parks. There is a fast train and a freeway linking
Bendigo and other towns on that route to the city of
Melbourne.
Bendigo is a great town in its own right with lots to see. You could find something that suits along that way. Lynne

Ashley Gardens @ Braybrook has a bus (route 220) right outside the door that takes you into the city via Victoria Markets and Footscray shops (very multicultural.) It's a bit pricey but very nice and handy to the city.
