yes lots to do up the top end..
I really wanted to do the lap next year saved up Long service and have 40 days leave at the moment.
Although Luke's in grade 6 so idea been put on hold to who knows when now :( He be in Year 7 the year after then Connors in Grade 6 and then year 7 :(
Just do it @davemc ! Found our boys didn't miss a thing really. But then we were only gone for term 3. Year 7 isn't anything drastic to miss out on, It's 10, 11 and 12 that are the crunch years.

Day trip ???????? 7 hr drive around 600km, not that long ago a doddle for someone who looked at at least 900km as a nice days run, now totally different outlook.........................it is tempting but my wallet is AWOL................mind I have marked the date thingy on my fridge just in case.

Has any one stayed at any parks around Lake Macquarrie if you spell it like that thinking of a extra weeks stay on way home ... the lake would suit my boat very nicely ..... lots of parks around it
Wangi Wangi, Belmont Pines and Swansea Gardens are all great parks

Our next trip we are in the planning for is up to Birdsville - Lawn Hill - Cape York may be Old Tele Track or some of it. Traveling with friends from Warrnambool aswell. We just picked up a new camper trailer yesterday to do the trip not taking Expanda this trip.

I am not sure about christms yet as my brother turns 60 on the 30th of December so expecting a party there. Means we might not take the van this year as we stay with them.

@Bluey Umina is 40 mins from us on the Coast, funny thing is when you mentioned Long Jetty that's 5 mins from us but it's a different Long Jetty I worked out. I can give you some tips when you head this way again if you are looking for something to do.

I like those Black Series units, very nice looking and very reasonably priced. Im considering buying one for my son and his family .... we may also get out in it

Cameron's Corner.
I've been thinking about going to Cameron's Corner but just wondering if my standard Ford Ranger and my Touring Expanda will make the trip.?
or would I have to heavily modified the Ranger and the van?
Would be a great trip to do before the kids get to old.
We would take our time and make and make it a 2 week round trip seeing many other place a long the way.

Have a look at the group meet page, a few of us went there a couple of years ago, some good pictures as well. The only thing that may be a problem is the height if the roads are in poor condition, maybe look at under slinging the axel on the van and drive to the conditions you should be okay
