QUEENSLAND Caravanning Association chief executive Ron Chapman will be among the guests on a special ABC radio broadcast this month.

Australia Talks will be broadcasting from the Cotton Tree Caravan Park on the Sunshine Coast and will probe the future of coastal caravan parks and camping grounds.

It will also consider the role that caravanning and camping play in Australian culture.

Caravanners wanting to join the audience for the ABC Radio National programme are asked to turn up at the caravan park at 4.30pm on January 25 for a 5pm start.

People unable to attend the live broadcast can make a comment or call with their thoughts on 1300 22 55 76.

The show last focused on caravans in February, 2007, when it claimed a resurgence in caravanning had created tension between the enthusiasts and some town planners trying to protect beachside environments.
