3 of each here but the tents still went in favour of the camper trailer, it all went downhill from there.

Yep, thats how weve gone, i put the trailer tent down over a drop sheet, foam squares for the floor and SI mats with sleeping bags, keeps the kids happy, we got the QS innerspring...

In the future, there are some great campsites around not far from my doorstep (by that i mean not interstate) so in future its nice to know the options are plentiful. i don't mind bushwalking and hiking, but as mentioned at the top, i'm the only male, and my daughters are 7 and 15, so that limits what we can do (as a family anyway).

Sounds good, we spent most of our time in the mid north/Flinders/riverland regions but im keen to get down the South East to the coorong etc. so let us know how you get on.

You can never over think it when females are involved, one forgotten luxury and the tent will be on gumtree, nothing surer...lol
