I will lose a bit of money in the trade in but would save myself about 2 - 3,000 that I still need and don 't have to set this van of mine up how I want it. Has kitchen, cooking...

One of the places I really want to see this time on my way north is Undara Lava Tubes. I've read all their jargon on their site, but wondered if anyone has any other advise/thoughts on this place.

I have been looking for a motorhome for some time now. Was wondering if any one has one of the KEA ex rental ones. They appear to be a good deal and have everything I need. What are the things I need to look out for? All advice or experiences would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The Driver has decided to tackle some of his bucket list, so we just got back from a 2 week trip to Darwin. This was a real departure from our usual caravanning travel mode, because we flew up, then caught Ghan back.

Tasmania really is a RV friendly state, so many beautif...
