your say
SEASONED caravanner Robert Healey is now the proud owner of two
caravans after coming up trumps at a major show.
The lucky Sydneysider took home a New Age Glider caravan and Australia
Wide full annex after winning the major Passport prize at this year’s NSW
Caravan Camping and Holiday Supershow.
"I currently have a 30 foot 'van that I tow with a LandCruiser so I am
stoked to have this new one too," he said.
The $60,990 prize proved to be a case of fifth time lucky for Robert, who
has visited the show regularly for the last five years.
The Supershow at Rosehill Racecourse was organised by the Caravan & Camping
Industry Association NSW.
It featured over 300 exhibitors, thousands of products and attracted more
than 75,000 people over its nine-day run.
Mr Healey said he would be enjoying his newly acquired caravan with his
family.

in caravanning'

"I'm a family man with two sons and five grandchildren," he explained.
"And the first place they will all want to go is Lake Tabourie, south of
Ulladulla on the NSW South Coast.
"I've always had an interest in caravanning and in recent years noticed a
few friends who didn't get the chance to get out and enjoy life at this
age, so I am taking the opportunity to do just that."
Mr Healey, who took the day off from his job at Bankstown Coaches to
collect his prize from Sydney RV Centre in Penrith, has owned a caravan
for the past two years.
He has already been on an 11-month caravanning trip around Australia.
"I do like long holidays, and I like them up in North Queensland. I love
Airlie Beach in Queensland and Crescent Head up north," he said.
"But maybe I'll take a short one to start with - any holiday is a good
holiday.
"I love the atmosphere in caravan parks, with everyone around you ... they
are all out doing the same thing and some of them I have met have been on
the road for 10 years."
