Having been a bit on the worn-out side last week, felt I'd like to report we are all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed again. Yesterday we went on a sea-plane trip out to Horizontal Falls, and had the most exhilarating day, absolutely fantastic! The tide wasnt as big as it can get, but its just as well, as it...

HI Everyone, Well what an adventure our trip south is turning out to be, left home 10 days ago and the further south we went the colder it got - why does that not surprise me when we were heading for Tasmania.

This is my first time here. I just want to say that I don't have a van or tent but I do travel and stay overnight in my car. sometimes I camp free or pay a small fee. sometimes park owners give me a discount because I am an older woman camping in the car and only ask for an unpowered site. I still have the comforts...

Did you have a timetable to sti...
