Has anyone travelled with 2 cats? We travel with our small dog but as yet not with the cats. It is becoming increasingly harder to get cat sitters. We want to do a 4 week trip and thinking of taking cats with us. We have boarded them once and they both came home sick so wont do that again. Thanks

So, my plans of becoming a grey nomad took a bit of a step backwards last week as my caravan was taken away on the back of a truck to be auctioned as an insurance write-off! Long story, but after waiting a year for repairs to be done, and being told we'd have to wait at least another seven-eight months, and th...

Google have a nasty habit of not allowing Android to be backwards compatible for long. For example: I have been running Wiki Camps quite happily on my expensive and high end Asus tablet for about three or four years. This tablet runs Android 4. Recently I performed a "factory reset" on the tablet and su...

OK I know this can be quite a divisive topic, but I really do want to hear of any actual experiences from folks who may use such in their rigs. We hope to head out soon and with my wife having Asthma, and we aim to be in the ACT in spring which has historically caused us both bad experiences with an allergy of...

I am staying at a caravan park, and the new owners want to set it up to encourage Grey Nomads, I have given my suggestions, but list yours and I will submit the ideas.

I am disappointed in what I have seen, by the mess and the destruction of the graveled areas at rest stops by those campers who have to make a fire, but don't use the supplied fire pit, or have their own above ground grate. Went to Lake Hart rest area, where we are a guest of the Aboriginal people, and the cam...

I am noticing that there are a lot of camp spots that are now using the .. You Camp... website for bookings. Seems to me that you can not just roll up. I wonder if one can just arrive at the mentioned site. Is this another sign of bookings similar to Trivago or Wotif. to name a few. I can assume that ... You Ca...
