Hey, I don't know if it is appropriate to start with multiple questions from a newbie, but here goes.. My wife and I are seriously considering buying a caravan, renting the house out and doing a 2 year trip around this beautiful land. We'll be working our way around. Hopefully half work, half play....

We get into some incredible stuff on here don't we? If we only discussed travel it would be very ordinary. By nature I have a very enquiring mind and I want to know all the answers in case I ever have to debate a point with Barry Jones. I don't know why I find it important how jelly beans are made or why people s...

Well we thought they were an endagered species these Grey Nomads, we have been on the road for 8 weeks now and met many travellers who meet the criteria of being a GN, but when we have asked them if they are a member of the grey nomads website it has always been met with a blank look on their faces. however.....

Noticing all the cities with big holes coming in the streets, some from old mining activities, some from broken pipes, my question is where does the dirt go, I have to spread mine all over the ground, and am not allowed to remove it from the claim any answers out there

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...

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...
