" And what
a fantastic trip it had been!
After 25,000 km, give or take, and visiting
dozens of Australian Caravan Parks we were
back in our home town - with just a few
stone chips to prove we had made it right
around Australia. We felt an overwhelming
satisfaction in having travelled the length
and breadth of our great continent, and in
having arrived home safely."
