5 Coastal Hotspots Grey Nomads Are Fleeing This Summer (And Where They're Going Instead)

Every December the big coastal holiday towns fill up, peak rates and minimum stays kick in, and experienced grey nomads quietly pack up. Five types of summer hotspot many now avoid (northern NSW and southern Queensland beach towns, the NSW South Coast, the Great Ocean Road, the tropical coast in the wet, and the busiest spots around Perth and the near south-west) and where they go instead: the New England tablelands, the Snowy Mountains, South Australia's Limestone Coast, Victoria's alpine valleys around Bright, and WA's south coast from Walpole to Esperance. Real cost comparisons, what to watch for in each alternative, and the school-holiday rule long-term travellers use. Prices and rules vary by park and council; always check before you book. #GreyNomads #CaravanParks #SummerTravel #Caravanning #CaravanLife #Australia
