Bailey Tagalong23

This is a “future trip” we are organising with our group of Bailey Caravan friends to South Australia in September 2023.

There’s no travel blog yet (we haven’t started) but the website component has been created to assist the members of this years Tagalong to get some information about the trip, where we are staying and some of the activities planned for the trip. We are hoping to have 20 caravan’s in our group & not all will be Bailey’s.

      Up the East Coast of OZ to Far North Queensland

      Leaving our Melbourne home on June 20 2020. Once the Covid19 restrictions began to lift we packed up and shot off on our next adventure. Heading along the east coast of New South Wales and into Queensland on 17th July. We were extremely lucky with our timing as the Queensland border was re-closed 3 weeks after we crossed it – phew & woohoooo!!!

      Bailey Tagalong20

      This trip was with a group of 16 other Bailey caravans for 3 weeks in March 2020. Similar to the Tagalong19 trip we did in 2019; but this time we started in Broken Hill NSW and traveled through outback South Australia ending up in Port Fairy (Victoria). It began on 12 March 2020, but was heavily impacted by the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic to the point where it wasn’t completed as originally planned.
