Driving along, minding my own busness and there is an audible POP (heard over Peter Dawsons rendition of Waltzing Matilda) and clouds of acrid smoke fill the cabin.

I should say from the outset I belive in the right to choose. Tasmainian Greens have put up a Bill and it's being opposed by some staunch Christian ethisists in Melbourne. Yes we have excellent facilities to spend your last days but they are understaffed and under recourced, if you are going to die, who...

Hi all, its been a while since I sought your advice on the type of caravan to buy and tips for a newbie. This week we bought a lovely new 20ft Millard with everything I could ask for in creature comforts. We are still working and will be just holidaying in the van for a few more years but have to plan to go from...

For those people who haven't visited Paronella Park before, put it on your list of things to do in FNQ. Fantastic place to spend a day wandering around the grounds, not cheap at $30pp but you get a day and night tour and it even includes a powered site in the adjacent caravan park. It is advisable to book a...

.. Hi all .. Here's a question which, no doubt many have worked their way through. After I sell my house and car, how does one go about buying a motorhome when I no longer have a fixed address to provide. There would be many who simply use an address of their kids or other close associates to fix the problem....
