Often when we're going away for just a week or even a long weekend my partner and I will precook some meals and then freeze them into portions. For instance, just this past sunday we cooked up a few serves of spag-bol and tuna mornay. Then we cooled them down, put them into tupperware and froze them. We do t...

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness, when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy. 'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present .'

We're planning to visit Lawn Hill National Park, probably late August, but we don't like to take the van off the black top. Someone said we can leave it at Gregory Downs overnight and stay in a cabin in the national park, does anyone know if it is safe to do this.

New Member, new van, bought it yesterday. Van weighs 1500ks, tows well, pulls well but noticed the suspension on the Kia Sorento is slightly spongy. Should I replace strutts with heavier gas shocks, will that lift the car up and make a rougher ride empty ?

Been going through our receipts from previous trips to clean out a bit of my rubbish. I found some old caravan park receipts from 2006 so it will give you an idea of what the increases have been in those years. Some are not so bad in the big picture. Winton: $16.50 Don't know now prices Longreach: $25.00 D...

Something very wrong here and can't be the mechanics fault. Took another 3 litres to get home topping up each morning. A litre this morning and half a litre on the other mornings. So there has to be a big problem. Talked to others who have similiar age of same type of van, they rarely put any in. Managed to g...
