    We have used the Camp6 book for our trip and it has some unreal free camp spots around Australia

    One of the best books you can find

    Good luck

    Thats an easy 2 week drive you should have a fair bit of time up your sleeve.

    Check out South West Rock for a great little coastal Village and if your into Diving then there is a great little easy Cave dive off the coast there.

    You should be thinking about detouring out to the Blue Mountains on the way home for some good wheeling i reckon but some locals should point you in the right direction.

    Have a great trip and drive safe this school Holidays! Lots of mums and dads and kids on the roads and tracks mate.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    If you are going to call in to Sth West Rocks, make a detour to Trial Bay and check out the old jail there. It sits up on the point overlooking the bay and the view is awesome. Great kebabs at Byron last time I was there too. Have a great trip and don't forget the pics
