Otherwise I'd just fly with QANTAS flights $150 e/w and it's only just over an hour point to point, take into account 16 hours of annual leave there and back and flying is cheaper.

Caravan and tow rig buys you a lot of flights and hotels.
Yeh, For a weekly rate, I can stay in very nice country motels for a little over what I would pay for a week in a grotty council caravan park minus the running costs of the MH.
Most good motels have facilities to cook locally bought produce.
Here, I'm using the motels kitchen to cook the best scotch fillet, veges I've ever had from the local butchers and farmers gate selllers.
