hi all,
I am getting a new 17.56 Expanda (outback) in October and have 4-5 weeks to play with it after Xmas and am hoping to tap some collective wisdom re places to go.
Basics: We are a team of 5 (3 kids), Sydney is home base and I have a V8 Kakadu landcruiser with some mods. I have a reasonable amount of 4x4 experience but will probably be travelling solo. We love the beach in particular and do not mind remoter stuff and free camping.
I know the coast between here and Fraser is pretty well from perspective of a surfer and camper but not from perspective of towing a van ie where to go.
So apologies in advance but I am hoping to get a leg up on the knowledge front....
So questions are:
Can these vans be towed on Stradbroke is, Moreton Is etc? I do a bit of beach driving and have an on board compressor and understand tyre pressures. I have never towed on sand though
How busy does inskip point get over Xmas holidays?
If coming down the coast from inskip pt to Sydney, what stops would you guys recommend? Do I need to pre book these?
Can I get a van into pebbly beach at low tide?
Any other advice you'd give?
Secondly, touring the northern tablelands:
Can I get into Georges Junction with a van?
How accessible in Guy Fawkes/wash pool/Gibraltar NP's? Do I need to pre book and do they get really busy over January?
What other places would members recommend on the range between Sydney and Qld border?
Any advice anyone can give would be much appreciated.
