Compact camper works pretty well.
The sleep out rear cover is superb - a waterproof extra space. The vehicle is good to drive.

Devils Punchbowl Walking Track
4.0/5
A terrific workout - it is all steps - with spectacular scenery to take your mind off tired muscles.
Swimming hole at the top looked great and the falls are spectacular.
