After picking up our campervan in the outskirts of Melbourne,we decided that we'd pay a trip to the Yarra Valley. It had been our intention to go to Hunter Valley but we just didn't have the time. The drive heading north-east was fairly easy but as with most Aussie roads, signs were poor. This resulted in a very expensive 2 mile journey down a Toll Road resulting in a 25$ charge; so my advise would be to take an alternative route when travelling in NSW.
After stopping off at a campsite just outside Healsville, we decided we'd earnt a glass of wine or rather Dad had at least! We were recommended The Tarrawarra Estate which was a short car journey from where we were pitching up for the night. The grounds were spectacular and the wine wasn't bad either! After sampling all they had to offer, Dad opted for 2 bottles of red before heading back to the site to cook our Aussie Barbie. It was the first night we'd shared such a confined space in a long time, probably over 10 years and even then it was on the boat not a campervan. I had agreed that Dad could have the double bed and I would sleep in the hammock. Put it this way, there is a reason it's recommended for children (the bed is so close to the ceiling I had to roll out of it!). Still I survived and live to tell the tale.
