Gidday, We are back on the road on Friday, yahoo, leaving my wife Karens parents place near Taree NSW and hoping to be in Canberra next week. Doing the Great Ocean Rd in a couple of weeks. If you see a dark grey 200 cruiser with a Jayco Sterling on the back, with stickers, give us a wave. We started our round A...

Overweight rigs
(Preview)
We had our heart set on an "off-road" caravan till we learned how heavy most of them were. Mr D loves his Prado and wasnt willing to swap it for a tug with greater towing capacity, so we chose a lighter (and less off-road capable) caravan. At a roadside rest stop yesterday, we met a couple of pe...

Have decided to head home in the morning. After a very sleepless night, one in which the dog killed in a mouse in my grandaughters bedroom and I flushed it down the loo, I came to the realisation I have to get Myrtle right before I do anymore tripping. Do all the things that should have been done, new in hous...

Are we all going Auto?
(Preview)
Personally, I wouldn't drive anything else. Seems that the trend is towards automatic rather than manual cars though. Our tug is a Rodeo 4x4 Diesel Auto, and very happy with the choice. I spent a few years living in the U.S.A, and was a member of a fishing club. Everyone had a 4x4 and not one of them wa...

If caravan park where was it and how much. Have been told by another camper here in Kumbia about Lake Broadwater south of Da...
