Caravan Camper Progress

So far I have got the Camper registered which was a great outcome. Im looking at replacing the leaf springs, bearings and brakes just so I know im not going to have a problem with them.

Also, my daughter has been great in patching the problem areas of the canvas. Im having real problems finding a company that is able to make me a complete new camper canvas, in New South Wales.

So far it is going okay though Im unable to get the fridge working and it smells ghastly so I have decided to replace the fridge when I can afford it. I looked around and they cost about $250 for a 240-volt fridge with a three-year warranty. im not going off the grid so this should do me fine with my cooler.

Heres some photos of the inside.

The Three Sisters Rock Formation

The Three Sisters Rock Formation The three sisters rock formation is about a 1-hour drive from Sydney to Katoomba in New South Wales, Australia. We travelled from Newcastle so it was approximately a 3 hour trip for us. Parking at the site is difficult and has parking meters which add to the unfriendliness of the place. It’s a great rock formation and very famous so it is worth going to see. You do not have to hike as there are viewing platforms though getting to a spot you can take a photo at is annoying. It is full of tourists and the tour buses just drop them directly at the viewing ramp and it really is very congested. Expect extreme temperatures. In Winter it’s bitterly cold with strong winds that freeze you to the core. In summer it’s so hot and fires often rage in the Blue Mountains. It’s definitely worth the trip but you will need patience. Shops are limited but locals obviously live there getting al they need from the area but I would search google maps for whateve

Redhead Beach - Newcastle - Australia

Redhead Beach - Newcastle - Australia Redhead beach is a great beach in the Newcastle - Lake Macquarie area. Its never too busy and this is a patrolled beach by surf lifesavers. They have a great place to get food and drink and it also has great parking though a caravan will not be able to access this beach. It has a shark tower from the early 1900′s that still stands and looks great. This beach is great for sunbathing and it is a great beach for surf activities. Its a definite must visit if your in the area. Check patrol times and surf club times online. I have a few photos.

Goulburn NSW Australia

Goulburn NSW Australia On the way to Canberra today, we stopped in at Goulburn. Goulburn was Australia’s first inland settlement. The town nowadays looks a little run down and I more than likely will drive past it in future. It still has the Big Marino though it’s been moved 800 meters from its original location. Goulburn is the home to the NSW police academy. It’s sort of fitting that there is a large jail here also.
