I have spent the last 3 weeks on the road with the family travelling up the coast, we hired a camper trailer to see if it suited us, and guess what it fits like a glove
Our 1st port of call was Knoritt Flats which is about 45min run inland from taree, we spent 4 nights here and got rained out, one day it rained for 22hours, it was damp but we still had a ball, as well as a few unwanted guests in the funnel web which decided to live in the wifes makeup bag and the couple of ticks i had to remove from my chest, despite the rain it was pretty well booked out.

After Knoritt Flats we headed for North Haven which is 25min south of Port Macquarie, we stayed here for 2 nights at the Big 4 caravan park, was a great spot, close to the beach and there was also plenty for the kids to do.

After North Haven we headed for Arrawarra which is 5 min north of Woolgoolga, we stayed at another Big 4 park, this was my favourite as it was only 2 min walk to the beach, it also had a 9 hole golf course as well as 3 pools and a spa plus cafe and bar, and for the kids they had a huge games room and playground as well as a kids club, we stayed here for 2 nights, just wish we stayed longer
After Arrawarra we headed for Hastings Point near Tweed Heads, we stayed here for 5 nights at the northstar Big 4 park, it was also a great park with 3 pools and a cafe as well as kids club and huge playground and games room for the kids.

was a top 3 weeks off, we drove home from the gold coast yesterday , took 11 hours but that was with a few stops and towing a camper with 2 kids, and i averaged about 14.5 l/100km and did about 2300km with a fully loaded prado with roofrack overflowing and full camper. I didnt get to used the stubby lever this trip as the clutch decided to give up the ghost the day i was leaving so i had to baby it for 2300km, but new clutch going in on tuesday next week :x cheers samo
