Wivenhoe Dam and Somerset Dam. They aren't far from each other but which would be the best to try and catch Red Claw. I've always used sweet potato but is there something that others feel is a better bait. Thanks in advance.

One of my main gripes is that some forumites repeat SOME, fail to give enough description of where places are. For example Has anyone been to (I will use this place) Green Lake? Would be great if the post read...."Has anyone been to GreenLake west of Shepparton in Victoria?. Or Is anyone going to the C...

We wash & detail our caravan when we get home, when we're away we don't touch it. The only thing we clean is the car windscreen. Here are three observations from a recent trip through the NSW/QLD Outback. 1. People washing their cars & caravans at a CP despite prominent signage asking them not t...

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...
