As we’re on the road RIGHT NOW in Victoria, here’s some fuel saving tips for your travels.
Winery Closed, WA

Tassie Tips
The CMCA Park in Geeveston, Tasmania has a 14 day limit for stays up from the previous 5. Parking area is opposite the roadhouse.
In a win for campers, we give a shout-out to the Railton Hotel for supporting campers who are travelling Tassie. They dropped their camp fees from $15 to $10 per person — and yep, that includes a hot shower token. Thanks Railton Hotel.
New Dump Points, SA
There are 2 new RV dump points listed in South Australia. The first at Wasleys Rec Ground just north of Gawler and the other in Kulpara on the Yorke Peninsula – both with toilets, water and shade. The Kulpara dump point is located behind the Soldiers Memorial Hall and adjacent the shady Plantation Rest Area. With the two side by side, it makes for a large area and a good spot along on the Bute road.
