Free camping on the Nullarbor Plain
(Preview)
We are planning a trip from Adelaide to Perth in March and we are new to the grey nomad thing and were wondering if anyone has ever had any trouble in the free camps along the Nullabor Plain. Im a bit nervous about camping in the middle of nowhere alone. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Hmm the wind has picked up and its from the NE, not good.
(Preview)
Visibility about 50m at the most. We are house sitting at Berrima NSW, packed up and all ready to move out. The seat of the fire is still 46km away, but the online map of the fires looks like it is suspect. Looks like we will definitely be seeing the new year in and some. Happy new year to you all.

Favourite Birds (Feathered variety)
(Preview)
Seen a lot of the feathered birds now while tripping. The Superb Parrot, all regal, prime and proper is very nice, but the one that takes my prize (a hand full of food) is the King Parrot, they are so cute and beautiful.

Towing Km's how do you record them?
(Preview)
Just wondering, when reading about how many thousands of k's one has towed a caravan. Is that the odometer reading from the beginning of the trip to the end, including the touring (shopping etc.) of the vehicle un-hitched as well, or do you somehow just record towing Km's.
