THE CARAVANNING LIFESTYLE Listen to the silence, only broken by the warble of the bellbird, the croak of the frogs, the boom of the ocean, the lapping of running river water, the bellowing of cows and the captivating silence of a myriad of stars shining brightly down onto your half-closed eyes as you relax back and simply enjoy life. Imagine, fun with friends at your favourite holiday park, picture your children having the time of their lives, the sound of the tennis ball hitting the cricket bat, the laughter, pulling in the catch of the day, then throwing it back again. As the sunset sweeps the sky, imagine the evening barbecue, tantalizing the senses from the aroma of roasting sausages and the ubiquitous onion. Feel the overriding emotion of contentment. Envision the journey, the adventure, the beauty as you roll along highways and byways, the quaint country roads overshadowed by poplar trees casting shadows on the bitumen. Escape to outback Australia, where the horizon is a million miles away and the sky is so clear you feel like you can touch the sun, the iconic graded roads heading for the Birdsville Pub. Dream about how your Crusader Caravan will be the soul of your journey. EXCALIBUR PRINCE
