Where's Jonny? Care to dine with me? You would think that 11 years of daily food tasting for a living might put me off?......au contraire! Chomp away with me across 6 continents. Seduced like a bloodhound to the scent of good food, I anticipate the misty waft of steaming broths, the satisfying crunch of mudbugs and the vibrant aroma of freshly pulverised lemongrass. Buon appetito

Aussie campsites - Dos and Dont's

AUSTRALIA | Saturday, 23 June 2007 | Views [1792]

If you're hiring a campervan like me you'll need to stop somewhere decent.  Here are some tips from my travels in a "Wicked" van

Do's and Dont's

Do

1.Ask for a site close to the amenities block unless you want to walk in total darkness looking for the bog (you'll also be at the mercy of Australias many beasts)

2. Buy a torch

3. Expect to see distainful looks from "resident" Australians in vans many times the size of yours.  We saw one that resembled a Jumbo jet.

4. Get to the toilet block before, "large, sweaty, fat bloke" arrives and stinks the place out and leaves you with no bog roll.

5. Expect bed bugs from the matress in which many other people before you have soiled.

6. Expect pervs to peek inside your van around sunset

7. Expect an odd security man (with a huge flashlight) to bang on your van and demand to know why you are not on the exact patch of turf allocated to you.

8. Expect to get out of the van in your underwear and be questioned under flashlight.

Dont's

1.Expect the woman on reception to be pleasant (especially once she hears your English accents)

2. Expect any sleep on a rainy night (its like fireworks going off)

3. Expect any good looking girls in Bikinis (they are all in hotels)

4. Expect any laundry machine to be available when you need to wash your stuff

5. Expect the BBQ to work (it rusted years ago)

6. Expect any gas ring to be available (the "residents" have taken them deliberately)
