I will take that as a hint Paddy  Here you go, this is the direct route route: http://tinyurl.com/33ws3eBut if your smart you will take you time once your there. In that case I would recomend this one. http://tinyurl.com/yvvyluIt includes the "great ocean road", between Adelaide and Melbourne. And also because Melbourne is a pretty nice place. |

why drive campervans if you can stay at hostels for next to nothing?

Glad to see its all positive so far. I am over in Perth in November as my mate has asked me to be an usher at his wedding (silly boy!!!) so will get as much info as i can then and also see if he and his mates are up for joining the road trip. Just the thought of us lot doing this makes me smirk with a naughty glint in my bloodshot eyes... Could (will!) be so much fun! No need for campervans, cheap hire car, tent or hostel. My trip up the west coast from perth to Monkey Mia used only 2 pay campsites in 2 weeks... the rest were free. All were in superb locations, had gas BBq's and some even had squat and drop facilities! We shall discuss in depth in June... as we stand knee deep in mud and building waste on MB, dodging the passing bulldozers.... as some seem to think.  |

with a bit of luck and careful planning, could be in Melbourne with relies, how about a convoy of campers, could we have slogans on the side of the vehicles?
as an example
Lady PP's dad is called Bruce (Honestly), is 50, Plays Ozzie Rules Footy and is a farmer... one hard futher mucker in other words! I am sure that the Australian male sense of humour would shine through if he was to see a convoy of 'kin poms and clogs sporting such logos. As he is in Tasmania, he wont!! but there are many more of him out there so I suggest its best we have something suitable to appeal to the natives. We dont want a "Wolf Creek" , "Ivan Milat" (Look him up on Google)style episode now do we!!!!!!!!!! Oh, is an FS like a wire spider.... see Roger mellies dictionary for explanation. (a joke, not an insult!) PP |

VB, Crown Lager and Carlton Cold's were my preferred refreshment when I was out there Loved the drive through bottle shops!!! Why don't we have those??? Could be a very hard opne to swing, especially as the missus wants us to go to visit our friends in Brisbane which is in totally the wrong part of the country, but would love to join the trip and will see what I can do! |

If you take the route near Adelaide, be sure to call in to Glenelg on the coast. Maybe stop over there, enjoy the peaceful old style town, the catch the old style tram into Adelaide for the nightlife! |

This is starting to look great. I can imagine 20 CA / DfH people (+Turn 1 Mogie) turning up at a car rental place in Perth, asking for 10 vehicles. "So when will you guys bring these vehicles back?" "We don't, we'll leave them all in Sydney!"  . |

"We don't, we'll leave them all in Sydney!" . I will do my groundwork in November. By then we will know numbers so I can chat to the hire firms and see what bulk discount is available. This trip.. as Beavis & Butthead proudly said... is gonna kick ass! |
