After planning and designing their baby, we are there as the happy day finally arrives.

Around an hour from the heart of Sydney is Camden, where proud new caravan owners Diane and Col receive the keys to their caravan.

But not before they learn the ins and outs of caravanning with the help of Tow-Ed.

One of the key issues with all types of RV’s and towing is safety.

Occasionally we have seen inexperienced people get behind the wheel and the results are not great.

That is where something like Tow Ed is just so handy.

And before Col and Diane head off they are about to have some invaluable training.

With lessons on braking in emergencies, reversing, hitching and unhitching and all the tips for safe towing on the roads.

Another happy couple are about to go down the road of caravanning bliss.

Good luck guys.

Cricket legend Glenn McGrath pops in for a chat about the NSW Caravan, Camping, 4WD & Holiday Supershow and gets a little bowling action happening with Dean Allen Craig. All in the name of good clean fun, although Dean may not agree with that!

Get along to the NSW Supershow to see the great legend himself.

The Swan Lake Tourist Village is located on the South Coast of New South Wales, near Sussex Inlet on the shores of the lovely Swan Lake.

Set in the unspoilt beauty of a natural bushland setting, with abundant wildlife, the lake on your doorstep and the Cudmirah Beach only a short hop away.

How about getting the kids into canoeing or fishing?

Accommodation consists of deluxe and standard cabins, or pitch your tent in one of the shady sites.

With modern amenities, including a BBQ area, picnic spots, camp kitchen, Games room, children's playground, swimming pool, the list goes on.

With so many options it's a great place for both adults and children alike.

The NSW south coast has a lot to offer the tourist, with its natural, unspoiled environment.

National Parks, beautiful coastline, its wilderness and easy access to the snowfields, make it a great destination, no matter what time of the year.

With no shortage of accommodation options along the coast.

Why not try the Wairo Beach Holiday Park?

Now this is something really different.

How about spending a day or so in the old pub, or the bakery?

This park is a themed park, with the unusual being the norm.

You feel like you've travelled back in time as you wander the streets of the town.

It is unique and lots of fun, with all the modern amenities you would expect.

And if you don't fancy that, then they have plenty of cabins, in the more modern theme.

It will be a truly unforgettable experience.

The pretty coastal town of Nelligen is about 280 km from Sydney, but once you are there, the popular destination of Batemans Bay is just five minutes away, so it is placed in an ideal position, with plenty of things to do and see.

One of the first things you see of Nelligen Holdiday Park, is a long tree - lined driveway, with huge sites for vans dotting the landscape.

Then the huge tin huts, and you know you are somewhere special.

Once you have registered at one of the most eyecatching reception areas in any holiday park, you are in water heaven.

The water park here is brand new and with the water crisis ripping through Downunder at the moment, all attempts have been made to stem the wastage.

Clever use of reticulation is in full swing.

The park offers great amenities, and with a vast array of activities to partake in, makes for a terrific stay in lovely surrounds.

The 25th of March is fast approaching, bringing to a close our Kimberley Competition.

Don't miss the opportunity to win this terrific camper, get your entries in, and the best of luck!

We have a Snowy special when next we Discover Downunder. A bit of what to do in the magnificent area when the ground is not covered in snow.

We have a touch of Thai, horse riding, an encore with Glenn McGrath and much, much more!

See you then.
