Planning a trip mostly to take the kids to obligatory theme parks, but going to see a lot of the country while we're at it.
Heading to Coffs Harbour via broken hill for a look then various stops on the way to Cairns. Heading home via Longreach and Birdsville.
Will be towing our off road camper but plan some nights in a cabin or apartment to keep it simple for certain legs of the trip.
Couple of questions
Seriously considering Fraser island for 3 nights but bit of a debate about how we tackle this.
Leaving from Noosa in the morning, what ferry/barge option is best, and what campsite would be recommended to target for that first night? We would like to be as far north as possible to see as much as we can but the preference is only 1 campsite for the entire stay. we also want to make as much distance north after Fraser as Airlie is our next destination, so whatever campsite we have at Fraser would need to enable early-ish get away the next day. Having no idea of the area keen to hear some suggestions.
Also what sort of trip prep does everyone do? We have our packing lists, and the car gets a good going over but is there anything particular that you do?
Cheers
