Report
Just returned from an amazing weekend away in Murdoch the campervan. The van was immaculate and had everything we needed for a great camping trip away. It was so much fun pootling around the country roads, attracting waves and light flashed from fellow camper drivers. A lovely weekend we'll remember for a long time.
