Overnight stops

We haven't had to do too many one night stops...which is lucky. Unpacking and setting up for just one night isn't much fun...having to pack it all back up in the morning isn't either. Before we left I had this crazy assumption that when we were stopping overnight we would stay in a basic hotel/motel room. You know the one - a family room with double bed and bunks, the boys might have to share a bed...that sort of thing.
Well it seems that sort of thing doesn't actually exist. There are no motels on these long stretches of isolated highways. Instead there are 'roadhouses', petrol stations that also have basic accommodation and campsites....and when I day basic accommodation, I mean basic. So we set up our camper and sleep in our roomy and comfortable tent, we pack up bright and early and hit the road.

The campground...'overland roadhouse', middle of nowhere...



The accommodation...each room contains a single bed, and is about the size of a prison cell....tempted?
