So. Imagine, just for one blissful moment, that you’re a young lass planning to travel The Great Ocean Road from Adelaide to Melbourne for 4 days with your best mate. Do you: a) take a Greyhound bus, which is cheap but public and unglamorous; b) hire a jeep in Adelaide, that you have to somehow magically return to Adelaide at the end of the trip; OR c) go all out to arrange a hippy-happy, free-loving, fast-living retro stylie campervan?

Exactly: no contest. Planning for her imminent Oz adventure, George has been through sweat and tears to secure her dream set of wheels, so it’s well worth reading her blog post if you fancy a road trip down under yourself. Thanks to the patient research of her knight in shining armour, Adam at STA Travel Piccadilly, George rejoices that:

we now have our very own love-wagon complete with a beer fridge, microwave, air con, power steering, gas stove and double bed, with a kids single on the top. Our very own set of wheels, total Independence, freedom, flexibility to hit the road and do it like real Sheilas!
