Hi everyone Hope you don't mind me sharing my painful deliberations with you. I have been doing so much research it is scrambling my brains. I don't have the opportunity to upgrade or experiment too much and need something that can get me and the 3 dogs on the road fulltime and thus need a set up to supp...

Does anyone know whats at Mingo Creek crossing in Qld, off the Gayndah to Mt Perry Rd. Ive tried the Google Maps but there doesnt seem to be anything there, its listed as a caravan park in Camp 6 ?

I thought you might like to see this motorhome for solo nomads. Cheap to run and keeps you fit as well! Bonus! -- Edited by Beth54 on Friday 19th of August 2011 02:48:26 PM

Interested to see that the great generator debate has made it out of our electronic world and into the print media. Monday's The Australian newspaper mentioned it in the Soapbox column on the back of the A Plus section. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it on The Australia's web site, so can't repe...

HP Products. Saw a HP printer on sale in Joyce Maynes' [Rockhampton.] 2 days ago for $37.00. Waited 'till today to buy it, and paid only $22.00. From today, 40% off all HP Products at the moment, even those already on reduced. Cheers, Sheba.

Ok, so that last isn't an option, this place is driving us both nuts. We are leaving, but choosing a rig is tough. Partly because we have bugger-all money, and partly because we don't know what we want. Plan is simple, pack up and spend the next however long travelling the country, stopping til we deci...

For anyone heading to the North of Victoria. We have heavy rain and strong winds. Bad enough not to go outside today. Also flood warnings were issued for the north east area including around the Goulburn River. The Goulburn enters the Murray east of Echuca so not sure how that will affect the Murray whi...

We are staying at Footy club grounds & a lady from a house the other side of the road came over with some homemade bikkies & homemade sweets. She does this to all new arrivals here to welcome them. Isn't that nice!!

For those that have travelled the Nullabor: Are the fuel stops at reasonable distances from each other? And what do you reckon the distances between them would be. Are the roads/tracks between the Eyre Highway and the Bight sufficiently signposted? Would not like to take a track thinking I'm going t...

When we arrived in Darwin nearly 12 weeks ago I looked up govolunteer.com.au to do some volunteering, as we planned to be here nearly 3 months.

We have just returned from a quick trip (first one in the campervan) around the Mid East Wheatbelt area of WA. Unfortunately due to medical appointments etc we had to be back within a certain time, but if we live our lives around health issues at our age we would never go anywhere. In all we did 1,447 kms o...
