Just got news that some MORON has chopped down the Sign at the Tip of Cape York. Why don't these people just stay home and destroy their own property. I know, I know, destroying things others get pleasure out of is more fun. Cheers, xina.

Hi there, we are new to this game and looking to get a caravan to travel around Australia for 12 months.

Any other...

A lot has been written and said about warranties on caravans over the years. I didn't have much to say on the subject as I had never purchased a new caravan. However, last year, August 2008 we purchased a new caravan and received with it a twelve month warranty on the structure. As you are all aware the ele...

When using a generator we clear the area for the genny first,then place a fire blanket on the ground, place generator in the centre of the fire blanket. This could be the difference between a bad day & a disarster. They are not expensive & available from many outlets. Safe camping.
