So we checked out the freedom at South end reserves, it was full of locals parked up nose or tail facing the sea, a motorhome pulled in just ahead of us and set up so we parked next to them, we were between the posts but out from them. Heaps of small vans arrived parked same way. Was not till 5pm a lical informed us we would all get fines when the inspector came at 7am, so the moho just had room to move , then all the small vans, there was not room for our big rig by this time so made the call to move. We rung John from the pop just up the road and went there, another new member then arrived just behind us due to all the small vans pushing in.
