    Heaps of free camping around Queenstown (i live here.) You can even park your van at the gravel footy oval. Loads of great free spots around Lake Burbry too. Accommodation at caravan park is cheap too. Queenstown is the best base to explore West coast from. You'd want two weeks out west minimum. West coast is the real tassie experience, nothing like it anywhere were else in Australia - it's a temperate (cool climate) rainforest that meets the southern/Indian Ocean. The geology, climate and history is just so different to rest of Tas. Rest of tas is beautiful too, but similar to anywhere else in s.e Australia. We have the unconformity arts festival too this year and that is a world class level of weird and exciting. And for 150k you can buy a 3bed nice house. Plenty of people moving from interstate just to set up base here. Property market on fire atm, best performing in Aus. Oh, and the 4wdriving is great!

    We did the Western Explorer about 18 years ago in a rental VT Commodore. My wife, who never gets carsick, did with the winding rough road.

    So she took over driving and I started to feel sick.

    I reckon we’d have been OK in our ‘86 Rangie.

    Was a converted 3 door 130 I think. I remember it was for sale in Launceston about 8 years ago.

    So what stops the weeds growing on the track now?
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
