Guest cal Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 We did a road trip Adelaide to Brisbane with the kids (7yrs and 12 at the time),, We booked ahead for places to stop at and kept an esky in the back with cold drinks and snacks... We did it over about 3 days staying off the main 'route' and it was brilliant, stopping in lots of little towns that we would never have visited,,we had a great time and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Lots of luck with yours, plan it well and it should be fine Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
