Another great video - thanks Simon and Liz. You are SO right about keeping things flexible - to me, that's the whole point of a holiday. We have friends who had every single stop of a half lap planned out before they set off, with every campsite booking made months ahead. They had a great time - for them - but to us, that's more like doing a planned, guided tour, but without the guides. We'd much rather free-wheel it - our planning tends to be along the lines of "Which way should we turn now - left or right?" then just see what we find. Not everybody is comfortable doing that, but for us, it has resulted in discovering many, many gorgeous places, little adventures, and memories for life, that we otherwise would never have found.

My girlfriend has a little trouble coping with us and the way we don't plan too much😂 "Coddiewomple" to travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination. That's us😂 We even use KZfaq to guide us so when we stayed at The Digging in Mt Kosciuszko NP we definitely knew not to book site 12. Wow, that was a squeeze and definitely no solar. We also have a Zone 20'6 Base. Another awesome vid

Next trip will definitely do longer stays at most camp sites

Hi folks well another good start to Sunday. Very good advice in this one. You're so right about how the planning differs depending on time and where you are going. My choices usually rely on whether Im just car camping or setting up the tent. One thing I do find disappointing is that a lot of free sites say no tents yet Im as self sufficient with my set up as a lot of camp trailers or vans, so it would be nice to see that taken into account more at some sites. Obviously not the short stay ones along highways. The only thing I can think of with that is people are worried about the tents causing damage to grassed areas especially if its hot. I agree with your map choice, also a big paper map and Hema fan. My road atlas one is literally just hanging together lol looking forward to seeing the rest of your Tassie trip. Cheers Cheryl 🙂

I was surprised the 2 to 3 hours travel averages, I’m still stuck in the mindset of pick the destination and work out stops along the way. Been planning on wiki camps and breaking it up into 5 hour driving days. Any chance you can do a rating on the passes over the great dividing range? Hate to struggle up a ridiculous slope when there are better options. Even a list of the ones to avoid Thanks, Peter + Karen

Great to hear, Peter. There's a lot to see in 5 hours of travel in many parts of the country. Not saying we'd never do a long day and tackle 5hrs but it's pretty rare.
