Way too crowded out there at
Easter for my liking and a lot of the popular
places are booked solid anyway, so for me my own shed is looking good.
Yes I'm an anti-social old bustard.
Am I allowed to say the "b" word????

Of course you can. Bastard is a child born out of wedlock. And we sure have a lot of old bastards around these days. So why cant you? You may be one as you most definitely say that you are. And you are not about to start lying are you!.

Camped next to a
billabong & flowing creek on a private property with 10 other vehicles in the
Flinders Ranges.
Enjoying tracks that lead in to the pound & I believe some very high summits with great
views.

We are driving
home from Murgon to
Scone then down to
Sydney for ANZAC day, then of to
Griffith for 6 weeks.
Wouldn't want to be in a coastal caravan park over
Easter, a bit too crowded for us.

No
We are doing our own thing. Hired a car and drive ourselves so we can stop where we want and not be driven from one
shop to another
shop. Road and rail travel the same valleys so expect the same
views as tours. LOL

You will really enjoy Canada. I had a White Christmas over there in December 2009. We went with Scenic Tours and it was fantastic.
You will enjoy the driving as it is a beautiful country.

Kalaru, southern NSW. Tried to get into
Mallacoota but was booked out. It's our first stop out of Victoria on our round Australia trip.
It's our second day out of Geelong, we're currently at
Warburton CP in the Yarra Ranges, staying for a week. I've just had a look at the BOM site. Severe weather and flash flood warnings for the area.
I've just put the hitch back on and backed up. Just in case.

Dubbo for some Quad and Motor bike riding with the kids, not taking Camper this year but a Car trailer chocker block with Bikes and tent gear.
The kids love the
easter egg hunt in the bush.
friends private property so no crowds only two other families from
Sydney and his Family always good to catch up with them and get out of the City.

We're off to
Adelaide at the beach RV park to spend quality time with the grand kids. Been doing this for four years now. Great fun, with them learning the old fashioned things like board games in the van and a walk on the beach, even if it's raining!
It will not be long I fear and they will be at that age when they will be looking to do their own thing and not hang out with Nanna and Grandpa.
I say, make the most of the experience while you can.

Off for a quick look at Lake Eyre. Not the kind of trip I would normally do. But you go when you can when some people can not get time off work for a longer trip.
Leave Friday AM before the sparrow even wakes. Stop at
Renmark for Friday night and then to
Marree for Saturday night. Sunday helicopter ride over Lake Eyre, landing where we can. Then down to Parachilna for a good Sunday evening feast and a few beers at the Prarie Hotel. Monday; start a slower drive
home through the Flinders to survey it for a return trip when we have more time.
Home by Wednesday evening at the latest. Three of the days will entail at least 10 hours behind the wheel each. Luckily we have two drivers. A bit like the old days of
Sydney to
Brisbane non stop.
Phew.

down to
Bruny Island,Cloudy Bay on the East Coast of Tassie. The weather is going to be less than ideal and we are heading there end of the week so chances are we'll beat any crowds and score good
