I only have a small cheap Kmart 3 man tent, which would really only fit 2 single air mattresses.
I don't mind sharing my tent, but they are only cheap to buy.

If we can work out how big/small all the tents would be, we may only need to occupy 1 - 2 camping spot/s.

I guess it would be up to the camping ground/caravan park.

List time...

+ we will all need UHF radios to talk to each other.

I'm thinking of buying a GME 5watt hand held.

So I might have my $30 elcheapo spare for someone, but it's pretty crap.

from how i read it! they are going straight across to Dwaynes and missing Melbourne, so they cannot pick up your stuff.

unless plans have changed. check the link Phill put up for google maps

I'm not sure if I can be bothered with a tent, haha. Might just bring a bunch of blankets and sleep in the car. :lol:

FTO's are pretty comfy to sleep in ... Have done it a few years myself... But, it can get cold... So make sure you have a warm sleeping bag, or good quality blankets...
I just had to add it ......

I reckon that sleeping in a FTO 4 nights in a row will be a bit much.

It would cost you less than $50 for a tent and air mattress.

I have an electric pump for air mattresses.

Tents these days are so easy to set up too.

So go to Kmart and buy some comfort ;)

this is the one I got from BCF(boating / camping / fishing) online @
http://www.bcf.com.au/online-store/prod ... 6697#Cross

$99.99 plus $5.50 delivery to my place.
i have had mine for 9 months now and no problem. just make sure whichever you get that it takes AA batteries. then you can replace anytime. only 2 watts and gives me about 3 km range
more than enough range for our regular car runs in the MR2.

Maybe I'll do a test night, haha. Just to see what it would be like. But a mattress is perhaps not a bad idea...
