Dad Says We’re Camping In The Backyard This Easter!!!

In bad news for Aussies who love taking the caravan either up or down the coast, Easter is cancelled, it has been confirmed.

The news comes as the price of fuel skyrockets at servos around the country, who are honestly lucky to have some petrol to flog off to the highest bidder.

With 1000mls of diesel notching over $3 in some regional areas, one Betoota father has excitedly told his family that this Easter long weekend the furthest they’ll be travelling, is the back fence.

“Nup, we’re not going anywhere!” bellowed Darrell Tallis, as he walked in the door from another long day pouring concrete for his small business.

“I just drove past the cheap United servo out by the industrial estate, and even it was up to $2.90. Even if we were just taking the Winnebago out to Windorah to see your grandmother, it’d cost me a fortune.”

“We might not see her til Christmas.”

As a caravan park enthusiast, who’d love nothing more than to park his Highway Hilton at a coastal big four caravan park this easter and eat chocolate eggs in a campchair, Darrell is fuming that his April dream has been taken away by Trump’s dumb moves in the Middle East.

“I’m sorry, you know how much I was looking forward to Caloundra,” Darrell fumed, as his family simply stood back and gave their poor Dad the space to let off some steam.

“I’ll set the caravan in the backyard and we can just have a “Home weekend”, I might finally finish off that veggie patch I started building during lockdown, it’s about time I finished it.”
