All our holidays this year are staying in Qld and we will be booking the caravan parks we need for this one as we imagine many others will be heading north for the winter as well. This trip will be half caravan parks and half free or low cost camps over six and a half weeks. ... See MoreSee Less

Well, jumping through the document hoops was worth it as our travel insurance refund is in our account this morning. They do not refund where you have been able to obtain a credit voucher but will reopen our claim if we still can't use them.
We received a refund from Emirates and credit notes from Viva Holidays for the stopover hotel in Dubai, Trafalgar for our deposit on the Spain escorted tour, the Porto cruise and the hotel in Dubai for Expo. The remainder less our $100 excess has been paid by Insure and Go.
For those wondering the onus is on the policy holder to reduce the liability in any way possible and there were plenty of documents needed.
A huge shout out to our travel agent Sally Cochrance @ Helloworld Eatons Hill for all her help with the documentation and starting to use our credit vouchers. ... See MoreSee Less

Yesterday we headed out to walk the Discovery trail about 2km return. We left from behind the museum and walked through Workmans Beach. Low cost camping is on offer here but is currently closed. We kept following the signs to the lookout which looked out to sea. Heading back we took a different turn and located a second lookout to the side of the caravan park with much better views along Agnes Water beach and along to 1770. Luckily the slow cooker looked after dinner and we napped and read. Watched a movie last night. ... See MoreSee Less
