    There's quite a mix isn't there. I've managed to go camping 3 times in the last year, but twice were sort of "cheating" one of the young blokes at work took us to his Dad's block up near the Grampians. Slept in an old caravan and had bbq and utensils, etc. all ready to go.

    When I was in Saudi I had a better routine. In summer it was way too hot, but out of that I reckon during the peak 6 months of good weather I managed to go between 2-4 weekends each month just for an overnight camp and decent drive. I had a couple of mates that would usually join me and we'd pack our trucks and go to work loaded and head off about 4:30pm and then be back and still have the second day of the weekend to do family stuff. We managed one big family camping/touring trip in 3 years and I managed 2 deep desert 1 week trips (really isolated stuff the family didn't want to come on).

    I'd like to do more short overnight camps, but also just Saturday arvo drives locally. Miss that I don't really yet have a reliable set of friends back here that will want me to ring and say let's leave in an hour for 4-5 hours, have a play and come back. Problem is we all seem to get too busy. Don't know how to solve that? Once you all work it out let me know
    Thanks, Cameron

    Trying to get away every 3 to 4 weeks just for the weekend. Hard with a 2 and 6 year olds but we push to get away. I want to make sure they have memories that don't involve an iPad.

    Only been to the gampions once. But we took the scenic road in over the range.
    Saw lots of 4x4 only tracks but due to the short stay gave them a miss.
    Have you done any of them or know of any good location around there for a play??
    Cheers

    Same here.
    One of the up sides to shift work is I get a long weekend every 3 weeks. Well finish Friday morning and not back until Monday arvo.
    So we aim to get away on those weekends.
    Cheers
