I have usually found that happens after dark. People pull off the road and spy a caravan in their headlights and instead of looking around just head for it.

Also people in cars and little campervans tend to do that, especially overseas visitors.

When we were on the way back on our last trip we were on the Newell at a roadside stop. We’re still up watching telly and a tray top ute pulled in and actually circled us before stopping just a few metres away. My first thoughts were, lookout here’s trouble.

I cracked the blinds to have a look and a young couple were rolling out a double swag on the tray.

They were gone at first light though. Got down to under freezing that night so they must have been a bit cool. I guess they just wanted to be near someone.
