Back in 2009 we attempted a trip around Australia, and used a Distance Education School, we had to return home due to car troubles though. The Dist Ed was a lot of work and we had to know where we were going to be each week - which did not work for us at all. Next year, 2012, we are going to travel again, and hopefully for a few years. I am looking into registering for home schooling, and finding a suitable curriculum. Has anyone out there had success in home schooling? I have three girls aged 10, 9 and 7.

Camping on unpowered sites is cheap, cooking most of your meals is the cheapest way to eat, there are plenty of free and cheap activities you can do. Sorry I can't say how much it would cost you to travel as there are too many variables to consider. My other website will give you some more ideas, it is called Travel Australia Planning Guide http://www.travel-australia-planning-guide.com/ If you have any more questions, you are welcome to contact me there - using the Contact Us form.

Well done you sure got to see a lot in 4 weeks, I have been to the places you mentioned they are all amazing and spectacular. Your kids were at a great age they would have been so excited at seeing everything. Thanks for the compliment I love to share my experiences of travelling Australia as it is just incredible, I still have plenty more to see, just like you can't wait to go again.

Our kids are 5,6 and 8 (all at school) and their school was more than happy for them to go. We were worried we were trying to do too much in 4 weeks(especially as camping means setting up/packing up everyday) but we went from Canberra to Coober Pedy, Uluru up through to Darwin and Kakadu and back down through Qld in 27 days. I can't say it wasn't rushed but that's all the time we had so we used it completely and it was FANTASTIC. We were worried the kids wouldn't cope with so much driving but they were fine and had a ball. We can't wait to go again. Thanks for the great site, Tina.

I think I'd just prefer to wait until summer hits. Although it wasn't camping, I did do a bit of a road trip back in January, just before my daughter started school. We stayed mainly in big 4's and Best Westerns. Our route was Brisbane - Yamba - Port Macquarie - Sydney - Bateman’s Bay - Lakes Entrance - Melbourne - Warrnambool - Shepparton - Forbes - Dubbo - Goodniwindi and then back home to Brisbane. A round trip of 4,774 kms. We had 3 nights in Sydney, 2 in Melbourne, 3 in Warrnambool, which is on the Great Ocean Road, and one night at all the other places. You're right, this is a great country. cheers Bob Hi Tina
