Sitting on 95kph about 20kms north of Raymond Terrace the bolts holding the rear axle on the van snapped on the passenger side causing us to have a pretty wild ride trying to bring the r...

Seems a few of these self contained camp sites are around now. Will soon be doing a few more trips, including free camping.
