The Duck Hole at Farnese Olivo – budget site near Hobart, Tasmania

A question I see frequently asked in social media posts is “Are there any free or budget sites near Hobart?” The truth is there aren’t many, one or two plus a couple of caravan parks, though there are more a little further out.  So we are very happy to add The Duck Hole at Farnese Olivo to the list! Farnese Olivo is a budget friendly, family hobby farm set on 5  acres overlooking the Coal River Valley in Acton Park. It is only 15 minutes from the Hobart CBD.   It is an historic farm dam, offering a quiet rural experience.

Budget and views: Camp at Murphys Haystacks, South Australia

The Eyre Peninsula in South Australia really is a wonderland to discover. As we drove south from Streaky Bay, we dropped in to check out Murphy’s Haystacks, listed as a budget campground in our book! These amazing rock formations are on a farm – in a paddock! There is a picnic area and toilet, and the site is not far from the highway. The camp area is pet friendly, has 24 hours maximum stay for RVs and Big Rigs. There is a small fee, mobile coverage, shade, limited level spots, but it is so unique, we’ve given it our CAMPS tick of approval! It is

Lake Boga Flying Boat Museum, Vic
Budget Campsite

Camp near the Flying Boats at Lake Boga, Victoria

I had not even heard of Flying Boats – you can also camp on Lake Boga down the road! As you can see from our photos, rain prevailed the day we visited. When the weather is miserable – campers know it’s a good time to shop, eat out or visit a museum… Lake Boga was the centre of a secret military camp in World War II. Heatley loves his war history, so I added the Lake Boga Flying Boat Museum to our trip! It is a very hands-on museum – you can pop your head into the planes. Back and
