Tan - Your photos of your beach spot make me really want to head down for a weekend. We've never been there before! Congrats on the house!

BR - The Big4 parks are great. We love them. The Queenscliff trip is to Big4 Bellarine, really looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about there. We opted to go for a van for the quicker set up time, plus when the kids are at school, I want to be able to stay away alone with them for as long as possible during school holidays if DH has to work. I knew I wouldn't feel as comfortable doing it in the camper. This new one has a queen bed one end and bunks at the other. Our friend has one that has a triple bunk.

Trish - Thanks! Once we made the decision to do it, we found a van really quickly. Hope your deserved break comes around quickly.

Nai - Southend will be beautiful! SA has such a beautiful coastline. Have fun!
