We are in North Durras at a caravan park. First time camping with my wife and 2 yr old son. Weather is appalling. Winds feel extremely strong. trees are down all over the place, luckily, at this stage, none down in the park.

We have hired a 3 Dog Camping camper trailer and I have doubled pegged all fix points and double roped on the windy side of the annex. What sort of wind speeds do they test these campers for? It feels very resilient, but hey, who knows....

Cheers

Wireless internet connection in a caravan park? If so, I'm impressed!

Well, not sure I would want to be camping on the coast today.

9.6 deg and wind from the south @ 122km/hr at lunchtime.

Looks like the camper can handle approx. 40 kph winds then...

I used to go there for holidays 35 years ago - the cabins had kero fridges and you put money in a box to get electricity.

There used to be a great tree house in the trees behind the caravan park - don't suppose it is there any more.
