New Craze . . .Next Suburb Camping

Brett0 comment

      HATE CAMPING? . . .Try this idea for your next family holiday. My kids were hounding me to take them camping and as you can imagine we have had many camping disasters in the past.

I was living at Rostrevor at the time and ended up taking the family all the way to Windsor Gardens…

I have seen this happen first hand on a recent trip to Brunswick Street ( Melb) where a lad was badly injured. Whilst I believe we need to change our behaviour in regards to motorist/cyclist safety to prevent accidents , I do find…
