Notes
1. Camping means a powered site for 2 adults, typically over NZ$ 20 per night.
2. Post and Email includes telephone cards for public phones.
3. Sundries include laundry, newspapers, postcards, one ferry crossing, entry fees to museums, baths etc, and (very rarely) parking fees.
4. Diesel is considerably cheaper than petrol.
5. Food was usually bought from the Foodtown/Woolworths, New World, Pak'n'Save or Countdown Supermarkets and cooked in the motorhome. 6. Eating Out includes coffee, some fast food, pub food for a special occasion, fish and chips (excellent value) and clubs (RSA = Returned Services Association and the Cosmopolitan Club).
