Nai - We're going to West Beach at the start of March. We stay at Adelaide Shores. Stayed there last year and fell in love with the place so we booked again for this year. Can't wait!

Now we're 3 - No idea on the Huntsman tent, sorry. Our Kmart tent would be pushing eight years old and we haven't had any issues with it at all. Last time we used it, it rained 50mm overnight and no water came in anywhere. One side was coated in mud - we were staying on an incline and with so much rain it pushed the mud down towards us, but the tent held up beautifully. Have no complaints. A great book with camping grounds (I think Trish recommended it to me) is the Camps Australia Wide. It covers sites from no cost upwards, right across Australia. The book costs around $60, but with the money you end up saving, it's worth it. A couple of caravan parks we've stayed in here in Vic have had fire pits available, provided you bring your own firewood. Both parks weren't part of a chain though.

Well we finally got word back on our camper...gulp. Going to cost a lot to fix the winder. They've had it for two weeks and have done all sorts of research on what will keep the roof up, finally coming across a part that will work. Turns out either the roof or the lift bars aren't perfectly aligned, which was causing the winch to break down. They're going to fix all of it so it doesn't happen again, and give us a 12 month warranty. We're expecting this is the worst of it now, so once it's repaired, we'll be fine.
