Oh Great..
So now we have a couple of homeless people organising the tour...
Thats a good thing.. 'cause Gypsys are natural tourists.
I dont envy the task of moving all your goodies to wherever the new Chez Kaybees may be.
Even if you moved next door it would still be a mamoth task..
I hope all goes smoothly and you settle in a nice area where "Medium density cluster housing " doesnt appear in your area for 100 years.
Its a real bummer when the quiet leafy outer suburban street you have lived in for years starts to turn into one big housing complex thanks to developers...
The Tour...
Had a look at the link you provided in the first post for Nowa Nowa van Park...looks like a great little park.. and i hope it stays on the final itenary...

Hiya Kris
Thanks for all the effort in getting the Caravan Parks and Showgrounds organised for us.
Always a bit "Iffy" trying to get the managers to understand that we are coming in as a group and prefer not to have large white modern vans stuck in between us.... but as we all know the managers are reluctant to shift someone who is onsite before we get there and has booked in for a few weeks.
Thats understandable ... none of us would like to have to pull up stumps just because a bunch of blow ins have arrived on the scene.
I just googled the Warburton Holiday Park... Their phone number is... 03 50662277
I drove through Yea on Thursday... it looks to have a great little main street. Will be nice to have a wander around the town.
Will ring the parks and confirm booking / pay deposits later today.
Cheers
Reddo

Ha Ha, that proves the point that when things go wrong, they really go wrong
Thanks Reddo, and thank you Phil and Veronica, I have now added the correct contact number to the post.
P & V your message did come through, I logged on to answer it , thanks for your email address, and Col and I are both looking forward to travelling with you guys again, but he said to tell you that no work has been done on our other van yet, so the Hawthorn is still in use.
