Australia.

[zabado]

I'm a 56 year old truck driver and next year I want to take my wife to see a bit of Australia especially Eastern Australia (the great barrier reef ) I don't want to be stuck in the same place and driving long distances is not a problem. But I can't decide if I should rent a mobile home or rent a car. I would prefer a car but are there plenty of motels,restaurants and cafes down this coast ?.

I believe so though I've not driven down the coast (flying is quicker and the distances are quite big). Try clicking on this:

Living in a mobile home is popular in Australia and there should be no shortage of facilities for them either.

There are no problems with either mode of transport and delivery of everything is mainly done by trucks, so plenty of motels, cafes and so on.

Hi Zabado
I have driven extensively in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland and the place is littered with small towns, plenty of motels and places to stay so I would go for a car and stay at motels.
Once we drove from Brisbane to Sydney over two days, a good trip.
The Aussies are generally very polite drivers but you need to pau attention to regular rests.
Have a good one!

We toured Australia when we were 61 years old. We flew to Singapire first for a couple of nights, then onto Perth for four days, then onto Sydney for a week, then flew to Cairs for a week. Beautiful place !! We went snorkling on the Great Barrier Reef and it is an experience I will never forget. Have a great time !!
