Bright is on list do also,which park is that? Look forward to trip report. Cheers Pace.

Park was the Bright Holiday Park. I think it is under new management and they have finished a few upgrades around the park and look like they will do more in future. We were very impressed! Toilet blocks were cleaned at least twice daily and well maintained and never busy although the park was full, trees everywhere for shade, creek flows thru middle of park (great for kids to paddle/play in), bbq's scattered throughout park as well as camp kitchens. Only downside would be not enough powered sites along creek, but an excellent park close to the town of Bright.

I can also vouch for the rain, it poured all night there Tuesday and was drizzling all morning on Wednesday whilst trying to pack up.
The van is all open in the shed drying out now....

Brilliant spot Bright, we have been going there Cup weekend for 5 years now and re-book on departure every year.

What park were you in crmmg? We were in the Big4

Clarke Rubber are a bit pricey. We got reasonable one from Target and I saw cheap ones on sale at Spotlight today with SWMBO - not Expanda related shopping so didn't get chance to check it out properly.

Clarke are definitely pricey XF, not sure they are worth the coin. Plan to have a look at them though and see what I reckon.

"Wife's work" crmmg, your a braver man than me....:D

Yeah, I wasn't thinking Expanda when I got my carport, either. Awesome is a good description, even after nearly a year -I'm still amazed at the difference the slide-out makes. Need to see pics please.
