Right here. I live in a Holiday resort at Hastings Point. Right across the road from the beach. Although, I'd like to camp out at Mt Warning or out that way a bit.

A vacant block of land at Morgan (South Australia that is) on the Murray River. Only problem is the tree sap and possum urine that gets on the car and us.

Noosa north shore, there used to be a awesome camp ground there that me and the guys in the old car club wold visit, they had a section away from the rest of the camp site which meant we could make heaps of noise, it was a minute drive to the beach for thos of us with 4wd and allt he facilities you could ask for.

Though they destroyed it by putting up a high ropes course :(

When i lived in the Pilbara , in W.A. I used to visit an oasis called Millstream! Its the main water supply or most of the Pilbara area and is a cool oasis in the middle of a red ,hot god forsaken landcape ! Its a beautiful place to camp for a few days with some freinds, lots of food and lots of refreshment!!!

In Aus, we really enjoy fishing trips to Mallacoota.

Younger years (single), Gold Coast...

Overseas, pretty much all of Europe was amazing, but our regular overseas spot is a house in a small greek village on the West Coast of Greece. Jump in the boat... beautiful.

I go down to Seaspray (in Gippsland) a fair bit, as my grandma owns a beach house there. It's also handy that it's only about 45 minutes from my parent's place.
