We struck it lucky with the caravan. Having looked online for months before we came, we were resigned to the fact that an offroad caravan was not going to be an easy thing to find and we might have to travel some distance to get what we wanted.
Then we checked the other night and found exactly what we wanted only 15km from where we are staying.
It was so nice to be able to unpack all our cases at last and to sleep in a proper bed. We are really glad we have it tonight as, after a blisteringly hot day we are in the middle of a big storm, not a night to be in a tent.
We have decided this is the area we want to stay in and have been looking at houses in Lemon Tree passage, which is a little township in Port Stephens. It is quieter than the other towns, which are more holiday resorts but within easy striking distance of all they have to offer.
Below are pictures of Nelson Bay which is the biggest town on the peninsula, we were just strolling along there last Sunday when two dolphins swam past.
