We are hoping to spend a couple of months on the south coast. Would love any recommendations- we like having a campfire(conditions permitting), don't need toilet or showers, and sometimes like electricity. Not just looking for free camping but hate the caravan park cement slab & side by side...

G'day All, I am shortly going to need a new set of tyres for the Pajero and would like some advice.

I have been quoted $320 for Goodrich and $310 for Coo...

Hi folks, We're new members looking at doing a nine month trip round Oz. We've heard that house insurance becomes invalid if you are away for more than three months at a time.

I tend to agree with the sentiments of the editor re the proposed RV village in Maryborough Qld. It does appear to be a grab at the upper end of the RV market. What is actually needed is a place where the whole range of facilities are centralised in one spot.Ranging from repairs,installations,accessor...

We camped for 10 days, early December at Wuruma Dam inland from Bundaberg QLD. The purpose of the trip was to bag a fresh water Barra. Well I beat the water to foam with Bomber A's and soft plastics to no avail. A fairly local bloke, who knew the dam well arrived and as we chatted he said "if I get a Ba...

We were travelling north from our daughters, near Coffs, towards the Gold Coast and fortunately decided to take the Teven road to bypass Ballina as the traffic was very heavy. We stopped at Tintenbar for a pie and whilst eating it noticed a massive pall of smoke, obviously from an explosion. Attach...

We ended up flying to Bris for Christmas, after my partner had a health hiccup, and while it was lovely to be with family, we are just SO glad to be home in warm dry sunny Canberra! My heart goes out to all those in Qld enduring such constant rain and flooding. Hope everybody is safe and well.
