Hey Dan, i was going to add links to the main sources of campsite information in Australia, saw this link on the page:
 +
 +
ROADTRIP FROM MELBOURNE TO BRISBANE - A trip through the Australia from Melbourne to the Brisbane with gps locations and prices recorded.
 +
 +
Although it contains a couple of campsites the majority of the information is their blog on their travels which you have to look through to find the few camping locations, which makes it a little difficult to find the information, if many users were to add link after link like this, it would be very hard to navigate to useful, informative and most importantly easily obtainable information?

 +
Whats your thoughts on this?

For me it would make Wiki overland less useful as the links are not specific like "camping locations in NSW" or Queensland etc or for example camping locations on say the Gibb river road.

Hey Dan, i was going to add links to the main sources of campsite information in Australia, saw this link on the page:

Although it contains a couple of campsites the majority of the information is their blog on their travels which you have to look through to find the few camping locations, which makes it a little difficult to find the information, if many users were to add link after link like this, it would be very hard to navigate to useful, informative and most importantly easily obtainable information?

Whats your thoughts on this?

For me it would make Wiki overland less useful as the links are not specific like "camping locations in NSW" or Queensland etc or for example camping locations on say the Gibb river road.

Special pages
