Off to Murray Bridge (SA) for Easter to show off the Expanda at the GEMBOREE (the national gem and mineral show) sort of free camping at the Showgrounds, and then a bit of a wander in SA (any suggestions welcome) and Western Vic on the way back. Albury via Benalla for an expanded Labour Day long weekend (another gem show).
If you like a little tipple of wine, hit Mclaren Vale and the Barossa, great at this time of year.

Not a bad place, spent a few nights there, make sure your tanks are full and you have plenty of drinking water

Cheers for the heads up. Is the water no good up there?
Hoping it will be good as this is our first family trip away in the panda.
Any other suggestions?

Mostly river and tank water, also check on road conditions on way in if it's been raining, mostly dirt if coming from Echuca side but in good condition or was back in 2011 when CD an I were there, also nice and grassy, plenty of room for the rugrats to run around

We are going for a drive through northern NSW, round trip down the New England to Musselbrook, visiting friends with panda in tow for easter, then across to the coast and heading up to find a spot at Nambucca Heads for a few days. Cross to Armidale, Then back to Not so sunny Brissy.

Hope to see you guys on the road. The Holden though stays home in the shed......

Hi Capt. Gadget. We have never been there and are heading to Lefroy Bay. First bigish trip in the Expanda.I'm thinking that at the end of March it might still be abit warm. Do you know if you can use a generator over there
Yeah Gennys were OK when we were there in 08 here are a couple of pics to whet the appetite

If all goes to plan we're taking our new rig to Big 4 Soldiers Point - but that is in the hands of the Jayco Delivery gods..!

Keen to go there too soon, let us know what you think if you get there......good luck with delivery!

Cheers.
