tis something started here so we can identify each other out on the road, but now, due to the wonderful talents of Lance we are able to have the yellow map of Australia stickers, see the thread on this for more info.

We went to Mon Repos, Turtle Sands Caravan Park, Just out of Bundaberg. A friendly Park right on the beach and right next to the Turtle Hachery (Rookery) but no 7 nights for 5, would appreciate a reply to put it in my little black book for the future.:confused:

Hi Bill & Dawn,

Elliot Heads Caravan Park is at the end of the road in Elliot Hds. Beach front, and river mouth on the other side, it is a council Park, we were near the entry, with plenty of room for car, boat, annexe. There are signs to Elliot Hds. from Bundy and Bargara. $110per week, also info. in Q`land caravan parks & touring accom. (Bundaberg Region & Nearby coastal )
book page ( 66) which is free at any C/park or info. cent. I hope this will be of help.

happy travels
Den & Dana

Post Our Yellow Flag,Ribbon and Map of Australia
Well we have been on the road for nearly nine weeks now up as far as Cairns back to Rockhamptom to Longreach, and done the loop back too Rockhampton and slowly making our way back to Hervey Bay then Redcliff and down towards the coast of NSW to make a return visit to Canberra, hoping the ice might have melted by then and after that, back home. As stated previopusly there has been very few Maps of Aus. Yellow Ribbon or Flags on the road either commimng or going We both have limp wrists from waving with very few responses, perhaps they have also gotten tired waving? and given it up as a bad habit. I don't know but there were very few responses to our limp, tired and worn out wrists. If We are going to be shocked going into Victoria I will let you know but dont hold your breath, you might suffocate.:confused:
Bill and Dawn.

Hey Lance,

How many yellow maps of Oz have you sent out?

How many of those do you reckon would have been on the road during the times mentioned by those in the previous posts on this thread?

Rosco532... It's a bloody big country & not everyone wants to be in the area between Brisbane & Townsville at this time of year.

A mockery?

Fair bloody dinkum mate... we've only been going a short time.

Give it a rest!!

Sigh!!!


Chuck

Gooday all, Just to put some figures out there, up to today, we have posted 41 sets of maps to members here.

I assume most or all have been applied to the vehicles.
I don't know how many members in total there are here, but I guess 41 is a reasonably small %.

The other aspect to consider is where are these vehicles ?
I've posted to every capital city and many large and small regional towns in all states.

Many of these vans may well still be in a driveway somewhere waiting to hit the road.

Remember these are only the maps, I'd guess at 2/3 times that many ribbons, but who knows.

Ok, most haven't spotted one yet, but how big a buzz is it going to be when you do ?

Now, who can tell me how many caravans are on the road in Oz at any one time ?

We are just back from Cairns , 9576 km . Did not see any yellow ribbons or maps and did not really think we would . There is a lot of RV's on the road , according to a park owner , more than normal . Are there any left in Victoria ? There was a lot up north . A good trip .
