"Adelaide to Sydney by campervan" midwalesmature's Profile

Cycling France in 2011

To celebrate my 75th birthday in October 2013 my partner and I plan to fly to Adelaide and having spent a few days there, and visited Kangaroo Island, then to drive (campervan) to Sydney via Melbourne, Canberra, and the Blue Mountains. We will return to the UK from Sydney around the middle of November. Our interests are the usual tourist attractions (harbour bridge, opera house in Sydney) but currently need some guidance regarding Melbourne. Otherwise we enjoy nature, wildlife, flora and fauna, nude beaches and skinny dipping but dressed would like to meet up with any beekeepers (anything between one to one thousand colonies) along that route as it would be great to swap notes.
It’s a trip I’m unlikely ever to make again so wish to ensure it’s special and seek advice as to where to visit to make that so.
Anyone reading this who is planning to visit the UK and in need of similar advice don’t hesitate to contact us.

Ken...glad to see some of your info. I'm interested in a canal trip at some point, will ask you about that sometime if you don't mind sharing advice.

  Giampiero. No problem. I presume you mean the English or Welsh canal systems rather than those in France or say NY State. There is no better canal than the Llangollen Canal (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llango... here in north Wales as the scenery, architecture, stunning aqueduct are all hard to beat. And with the locks only inches wider than the boats, and the canal side pubs serving good beer and food what else does a holiday need?
  Just shout and I will prepare a report.
