Very exciting Astrid. Mum and Dad keep all their supplies in theirs - it has quite a reasonable storage space. They keep their bedding on the bed ready to go, and clothes underneath the bed.

Had a great time in Litchfield - my foot was out of its camwalker boot and didn't really restrict me too much, was just a bit slower than otherwise. Swimming in all the waterholes was good for it, but just had to be a bit cautious on uneven surfaces. We camped at Florence Falls campsite - it had lovely big sites and pretty cheap as is National Park, it had proper toilets and running hot water (of a fashion - although I didn't use it - I am not much of a washer when camping :-)) Weather was lovely and hot, and slept with just the flyscreen up in the trailer awning and only a couple of hours each night needed a sleeping bag - I didn't spy any animals during the night but could hear all sorts outside and so nice going to sleep looking up at the stars and waking with the dawn.

DH's back really doesn't do well on the camp beds so next trip at Christmas, I think we will have to get mum and dad to let us sleep in the camper trailer bed (which is just like a normal bed) for a few nights. Not sure where we are going yet but away over Christmas somewhere in VIC, kids like sand so probably beach, last year we did Barwon Heads - any suggestions?

As we all were fine fitting in the camper trailer we won't bother with a tent this Christmas but wouldn't mind one of those gazebo type things (Oztrail??) just to give us more shelter from sun/rain for sitting out - anyone any experience suggestions?
