Based on the Sunshine Coast, Sheng has worked in the field extensively, as a CAMPS auditor. He has just returned from a trip up to Normanton, via Roma, Mitchell, Blackall, Barcaldine, Cloncurry. He returned back down the Queensland coast, updating campground information and images, and reporting on new sites along the way.
Later this year, he’s back on the road, planning some fishing and research on the the way to Coober Pedy – via Birdsville and William Creek.
His motorhome is seen in many photos in our books – you may notice the green sign, he says many travellers recognise it from the books.
But when we caught up with him, it was this sign on the back of his van that made me smile!
We also have researchers in Darwin covering even more miles, as well as Heatley and I, our team are working hard from Tasmania and Maleny, Queensland – plus wonderful volunteers in Western Australia, all helping us create CAMPS 10, due out from late February.
