We thoroughly enjoyed our 2016 Big Maroochydore Adventure and we have been to some wonderful new places, revisited some places we have been to before, made some great new friends, have seen some magical scenery, have endured good and bad weather, and have generally had a great time.
Importantly, we are extremely happy with Bertha, our Avida Birdsville motorhome, and the comfort in which we travel and camp, both short-term and longer term, as we did in Cotton Tree/Maroochydore. We have enjoyed the mixture of travel using Bertha, public transport, bus tours, rental cars, and the sheer pleasure of walking.
Here are a few statistics about our 2016 Big Maroochydore Adventure:
- Total distance covered was 4,708 kilometres over 3 months including nearly 10 weeks at Cotton Tree/Maroochydore
- Total diesel used was 585 litres at a total cost of $699.
