Camping holiday - best way to see Australia an experience of holidays No better way to see Australia than by camping. Just the basics, nothing too flash, some food shelter and transport. Fortunately, Australia is loaded with camping and caravan parks. On a recent trip to the Victorian seaside respot town of Lorne, some friends and I stayed a week at Queens Park caravan park close to the ocean. One night there was this tremendous guttoral growling and snorting. It was like a sound effect from a horror movie. I'd never heard anything like it. Turns out it was a male koala, probably warning off another male. In the morning we spotted him up a tree right next to our campsite, sleeping.   Thanks to Doug Kirkpatrick from Melbourne on 22/01/2009 share it pin it print it report it
