I am planning a self-drive family vacation to Melbourne and the Gold Coast in Australia in June. Can you recommend a reasonably priced caravan motorhome? Also, what caravan parks are easily accessible in those cities? - Tan Chuen Huat

Caravan motorhome and caravan parks
[ 0 ]Campervan rentals start from about A$80 (S$98) a day, depending on their size and facilities. Those equipped with shower and toilet facilities are slightly pricier at A$99 a day for four people and can go up to about A$170.
Check out www.campertravel.com.au for rental types and availability.
For caravan parks in Melbourne, there is BIG4 Dandenong Tourist Park, which is a 45-minute drive from Melbourne city. It provides caravan and camping sites and cabin accommodation, if you want a change of sleeping quarters.
The site is also close to popular tourist attractions such as Phillip Island, where you can see the famed Penguin Parade and Puffing Billy Station, a panoramic steam train ride your children will enjoy.
Caravan sites start from A$32. Prices for cabins start from A$108 and include facilities such as kitchenettes.
In Gold Coast, try the Treasure Island Holiday Park, which is just 10 minutes away from Surfers Paradise. It is also centrally located in relation to the major theme parks - Dreamworld, Movieworld, Wet n Wild and Seaworld.
Prices start from A$45 for a campervan site and go up to A$270 for a villa.
