Here's one in from North Queensland

WANTED: ONE LOST CARAVAN

In 1998, my husband Joe and I were travelling Australia doing the retired couple thing with our 4WD and caravan, and having come all the way from our home in far North Queensland, we arrived in Gosford around 4pm, about one hour out of Sydney.

After looking at four caravan parks, we settled on one close to the city. After setting up camp we then went to the local RSL club for a good meal and a few well-earned beers.

The locals were wonderful, great country folk. We left about 8pm. Well, we both got totally confused as to which caravan park we had put the van in. Joe thought it was the second one we looked at, and I swore it was the third, so here we were driving through the caravan parks - yes, you guessed it - all of them, until after midnight, then just as we were about to go to a motel, we found it.
