A new tavern, play area for kids, large dining area, and a very short walk from the CP Bakery at Turton - just as you get to the built up area. Bread cobs, buns, and cakes baked daily, open 7 days, has petrol and diesel. Great little CP beside the je...

On arriving in Wauchope last week we looked (on the Internet) for an electrician, preferably mobile, who has experience with 12v systems - not just an auto-electrician - to fix our rear-view camera connection. We contacted Patrick Rodgers, Rodgers Marine Contracting, Port Macquarie; mob. 0408 8...

Hi travellers, As we are about to blast off on our first extended journey we thought it prudent to have a bed made up permanently in the back of the Sprinter (Whizz Bang) rather than the assortment of foam seats and cushions that we up to date have arranged for our sleeping comfort (?). We contacted the H...

Front spring lift for the above vehicle was carried out by Vinaka Pty Ltd in Hobart Tas. $770.00 . Took 5 hours, catch the bus to town $3.75 day tripper ticket. Benefits: vehicle now sits flat, no bottoming out, better tyre wear, less under steer.= IMO safer vehicle Note that when cab chassis is bought...

Checking over my poptop just prior to commencing a trip down south a few months ago I was happy with the condition of the wheel bearings, springs, and tyres, well the inspection of the tyres involved taking each one off and checking the tread depth and the wall condition, on both sides, somewhat surpri...

I would thoroughly recommend this CP. It is quiet, peaceful, well set out and clean. There is a lovely lawned area where all the vans etc are lined up around in a semi circle kind of configuration, beautiful creek walks, and the BBQ area is something very different. Saturday night a huge fire pit is set g...

We are planning to be in SA for about 8 months this year leaving Melb about the early April. We spent some time in SA a couple of years ago around the Limestone coast area.

Hey all. I thought I would recommend this as the main crux of any holiday is... the destination and getting there. It can be time-consuming to find it online and expensive to go through an agent.

This rest area is north of Newman on the Great Northern Highway, WA. It's only about 45 kms south of Auski Roadhouse. It's a free camp with a spectacular panorama of that area of the Pilbara. I explored about 5kms of the tracks, which are fairly solid, but probably not in the west season. Although I'd...
