After searching forever and with lots of helpful advice from fellow members I have just purchased my first van It's a toyota Liteace. Automatic and has a good body. It only cost me $2000 and probably needs a bit of work but I'm over the moon! I'm happy to spend a bit of money to get it to where I want. Are ther...

Newman in the mighty Pilbara (as Lawsy once said), is a pretty good place. Mountains are spectacular. Still prefer the rugged ranges to the coast but I did glimpse for the first time, the Indian Ocean at Barn Hill on 80 mile beach. Good to see water again. Port Hedland had no room at the Inn (for anyone) so...

Just about all of the caravan parks in D...
