Beautiful Margaret River, Western Australia
I visited the Margaret river region in 2020 just before lockdown. It was my second and not my last visit. You will need a car as it’s a few hours south of Perth but it’s an easy drive on fairly quiet roads. There is so much to see and to do. Bussleton is a must..pure […]…

New Zealand Camper Van Tour
We rented the Koru Star 2ST Walkthrough for our 66 day tour of North and South Island. This is a great layout with all you need for a good holiday and the camper is small enough to park in car parks. We were glad of the Walkthrough option on wet and windy days. The shower […]…
Hamilton Island
Visited this island in November. Wonderful place to stay. We flew directly into Hamilton Island from Sydney. You can also get a ferry from Airlie beach but we wanted a quick journey. The flights were with Jetstar and very reasonably priced. There are many accommodation options. We stayed in the Whitsunday apartments. They were able […]…

Windsor
I recently was staying outside Sydney NSW with friends who love on the beautiful Hawkesbury river which flows through Windsor NSW. It’s a pretty litttle town and worth a stop off if you are heading to the blue mountains. Lots of lovely little coffee shops and a few boutique shops. If you have time hire […]…
Hawkesbury River
The Hawkesbury river area of NSW is a hidden gem. I spent a long weekend there in January with friends who live in the river. To waken up in the morning and all you hear is birds and water skiers as they ski the river. It is a very peaceful area where you could rent […]…
