A.T.F.C.C. ‘SUPPORTING
Towns who actively encourage FREE & BUDGET Camping’ We are a group of Travellers with a passion to see this wonderful land of ours. Caravanning has become a significant and important economic stimulus to many Australian towns.. According to Tourism Research Australia, the number of Australians hitting the road for lengthy trips is booming. Last year about 2.6million trips were taken by domestic travelers in campervans, caravans, tents and motorhomes. This is a whopping 90 % increase since 2000. This number is only going to escalate overtime. Our journey is not just about making the dollar go further. It's about the freedom 2choose. It's about the camping spots with the 'wow' factor that take your breath away, the mates you find, & the amazing stories that you hear along the journey. If you find a Town that provides FREE or LOW cost camping, SPEND your money in that Town, buy a meal @ the Pub, and Fill the Car with fuel, Shop 4 Groceries. Smile & say Thanks for being a Traveler Friendly Town,
We are coming - READY OR NOT! Travelers spend around $572 per week. Spending approximately $14k over the course of our travels. On average we spend $244 a week on fuel and $171 a week on vehicle maintenance, $190 a week on groceries, food and non alcoholic drinks. We are the biggest spending travelers in the domestic tourism market.
