Seems to me they are very convenient as the jockey wheel can...

I've been advised that Katherine can be a little unsafe to be wandering around. Is this true these days or should we just exercise the same cautions we would anywhere else? Cheers! Mark

Being one of those nomads that cruise along at around 90kph (LC200 and 2.5t van) it does surprise me at times to be rounded up by fellow caravan owners doing easily 110kph, towing sometimes quite large vans.
