I was just wondering where it is you stay when away in your Expanda?

Do you head to caravan parks powered/non powered sites?
OR
Do you bush camp?

Since having our Expanda we have only stayed at one C/P and the other times we have bush camped although with winter upon us we will probably head toward a C/P for a powered site.

On our longer trips we mix it up between C/P's and bush camping. It also depends where we are heading and to some degree the weather.

We enjoy both as it mixes up the trips away.

All of the above, though don't tend to bush camp if on our own, not much fun anyway,

just need to find away to heat the Panda while off power in winter ( not that it happens to much) Though about a Websto gas or Diesel heater, but for the price I may as well by a gennie and have best of both worlds.

So far, all the great places to go in my Expanda are in my dreams:rolleyes:

But when we had our Hawk we liked to mix it up as well. Some of the best places are bush sites but not always free (Wollondilly river Station, Coolendel etc). Oallen Ford near Nerriga is a great free camp that i can't wait to get to with the Expanda.

In Winter we like the Discovery Park at Gerroa. They usually have cheap deals going on the powered sites. There is some great powered sites down the back corner on the river. We went there three times last winter and every time we had the whole area to ourselves:D

Wow love the pics!

Had to take the bikes? What about a base station???? ;)

Would have been chilly though!
Thanks Expanda it was awesome to see Craigs Hut in the snow!

A Base Station would be ideal but a bit big for when I dont take the bike plus all my mates would want to use it :D:D

Plus I get a boys weekend away LOL.

Expanda at Craigs Hut!, HHHHHMMMM I'd like to see that :D not likely though that last 300 to/400 metres to the top car pak would be a challenge. Did see an Eagle outback up there as well as a Goldstream..

Even the Gall Boys haven't done that :rolleyes:

We prefer to stay off the road at Easter, but that's the advantage of retirement. We do our travel at other times. But I'm sure you will enjoy it in your new Expanda, it sure is a great spot.
