Countdown :: Dapope Hits The Road 13th July 2013

[SteveW]

Rennie Springs about 200 k north of Tennant Creek. $20.00 per night - no power or water, just dirt. They really get at the traveller up here in NT. Free Spirit Resort on the Stuart Highway 18 k south of Darwin - $49.00 per night in an OK but crowded CP. Let's say that you get 40 square metres of land for your $350 per week. That makes a small house block of 500 square metres worth $4200 per week. I don't think there is much chance of the CP being bulldozed for development.

Jees, and it still cost $25 a night. Though the WA government was trying to encourage tourism. Guess Broome hasn't heard of their initiative.

Well, you can pay $50 plus per night elsewhere in Broome. For us, it was a needed stop. Fuel, food water and pedicure for the better half, and a break after a run of 600km for the day As a good mate of mine is fond of saying, if you dont like the prices, dont take the holiday.

Sounds more like Broome is a place to bypass.

And did you give the "better half" a nice pedicure?

"tanks" here -- Bring the PopeMobile over the border to Queensland mate I have found plenty of Recreation Areas [read Free Camping] and all that I have used are good; some with most facilities, others with just the basics.
I have an onboard hot and cold shower and my own toilet and water, so all I want is a place to park and a bit of room to extend the awning for extra shade, and a few trees for "Russell" to mark.
