Purely out of interest, I just zoomed in on Appolo Bay using Google Maps and followed the road for a bit, then I looked at hose prices
4 bed houses for 1.5 million Australian Dollers.... don't know the exchange rate but I guess its rather expensive..... How many days left Bob and would you do it again ?

For ease of calculations exchange rate is 50%. 1 million is bout 550,000.
Love it love it love it. Would do it again tomorrow in a heartbeat (and might just).
Only 7 nights left on the road in the RV, then 5 nights in Melbourne, then 3 n arf weeks in Dubai.
It's a bloody tough life.

Stayed in some fantastic sites. Some very rustic and remote in the Outback. Yet ALL have had electric hook up and water on the pitch. Favourite, all so different and in a way all my favorite. One at Coral Bay on the East coast was a bit.........sort of wont go back there.
As for pics, i have tried so many times to get pics up on here, just wont have it. Problem with me is people say "just" do this or that, well they may as well talk in Chineese for all i understand what they are saying.
I could send you a million (well Aussie is 50% so 500,000 pics) to your phone.
