I would have to agree with HB123s figures, we have just spent five and a half weeks on the road. North Qld to Tassie and back, and spent close to $6000. Fuel $1700, parks $1300 dearest $40 Apollo Gdns Melb, cheapest Nanango $16, ferry $1300, food $1000, extras $500.

Here are the van parks we stayed in in the past 13 months rated 1-10 for value, site type, cleanliness of amenities, helpfulness of staff and appearance and tidiness of park.

We didnt care about playgrounds or pools and preferred to be as far away from them as possible

No doubt some will differ but thats as we found them

PS its a FAIR price not fare which you pay on the bus.

Hey Hillbilly, I for one will be printing your list and taking it with us when we head out to the great yonder in 12 weeks.

Like you we don't want pools or playgrounds, just clean, tidy and friendly places to stay a day or 2.

We're heading from Karratha up to Darwin and over to Queensland - no plans except for Darwin in June for the V8 supercars and that's it. So we'll pretty much follow your list backwards!!

thanks Sue and Stu

We are going around Australia, leaving in Sept 2011 as we retire then. We have bought the cruiser and the van and can't wait to head off. So any tips from any of you out there wold be appreciated. We happen to like the parks with ensuites as we don't have one and have found them handy so if anyone can tell us what parks have them and where etc that again would be helpful too.
