Default Caravan(?) accommodation help please

Hi guys.
Me and my daughter are going out to Perth (Beckenham) at Easter stopping with my brother and his family, joint holiday and reccie. with all the research i am more and more interested in making Mandurrah or possibly Bunbury our home when (note not IF) we get our visas (positive thinking!) With that in mind i would like to find some cheap accommodation for a couple of nights, both at Bunbury and Mandurrah, so we can get out and weigh it all up, see how it feels etc etc.
Now the question Does anyone have any links/info to caravan sites etc that i can look at to book somewhere. It will have to be low budget (saving all my money for visa proccesses), doesnt have to be on a big fancy site with pool etc, just somewhere that is clean enough for me and daughter (and prob brother, his wife and their daughter) to stop in for couple of nights. Im presuming caravans is the cheapest way of doing this - without doing tents ( I really DO NOT do tents - long story!). Any other info you can chuck my way will be great - thanks

oooooooooh why arent you on the plane?
how do you feel now? is it all even more scary once you have the visas?
i dont mind admitting i get some moments (not even full days) when i think what the f am i doing - things like this dont happen to people like me BUT i am more an dmore thinking that why the f shouldnt it happen for me too. i have been a single parent more than i have been a married parent and i have always managed to keep a roof over my kids heads and food in their belly. i honestly dont care about having the big house with a pool in oz, i will be happy with a caravan on a site if that is all i can afford BUT i know that one day i will be able to afford the finer things. it took me 10 years to be able to buy this house, my mother will think i am mad when i get the guts to tell her my plans, to give it up and start again BUT i dont care. i want more for my kids. all 3 said they plan to live in oz with or with out me when they older so why on earth should i stay? you only live once hey?


s'xcuse me i drinking australian red wine (from pemberton region) fink i ought to go to bed heee hee
