Motorhomes in Australia, any advice   
Hi,
We will be going to Australia for 6 months in October.
As our son now lives in Melborne so we will buy a motorhome/campervan
and do some touring.

Anyone done this?
Any advice on types of van and driving in Australia?

Thanks
Peter & Andrea

Well, I have driven in Austraslia, I was there in August this year 
(business trip).  But this was a hire car not a motorhome, and my 
driving was confined to the southern suburbs of Sydney.

Still, I didn't have too many problems, the main one being that you 
need to beware of right turns.  I was inconvenienced by several 
junction where, having worked out a route on the map, I found "No 
right Turn" signs in inconvenient paces.  On one occasion this 
required a detour of several miles before I found a place to tuen 
round.

But in general driving there is simple enough.
