Is there any sensible way to get from Canberra to Newcastle with a heavy van to avoid steep parts of the great dividing range, (and not go through Sydney) Would really like some suggestions from you all that know that area please. Joe

With the influx of battery tools now making a huge impact, I started to look at some alternatives to take with me on trips. I was scoffed at (initially) when I mentioned at my 4X4 club about cordless chainsaws. In spite of this, I bought an Ozito el cheapo 20v and when we needed to clear a track, I pulled out...

Looks like we might be heading north and spending autumn on the way, and winter in Queensland. Have got to say I couldn't be more pleased. Just have to go through Canberra to visit some old friends. Yeah I know a nice big detour as we will start in SA, but plenty to see. Not having traveled around Qld before...

Hi, I am 77 and will be travelling to Europe and North America for 6 months in April. I have been told that Australia Post offers good value, however, because of the duration/destination and my age, they tell me they cannot insure me. Other insurers I have checked out charge round $2,000. Has anyone any...

Also in the same flyer are solar mat kits, 2200W generators, portable fridge freezers, plus other camping items. I haven't seen the batteries on sale by Aldi bef...

I have recently replaced the fuel selector knob on my Electrolux fridge, however it is a bit hard to change fuel selection without using a bit of oomph. I`m worried I will be up for another knob real soon if this keeps up. Can someone tell me what is the best way to get the thing moving more freely.

Just left Boonoo Boonoo NP near Tenterfield and was horrified at the prices. Per night they wanted $12 per person and $8 per car that's $32 per day for us and all that we had was a long drop toilet, wooden bench at some sites. For $33 per night in Tenterfield we had flush toilets showers laundry kitchen a...

Recently I did the lap as the leader of a three van convoy, though we didn't spend all the time together. I have been reading stories on this site for some time and am always amazed at the varying opinions. I thought I'd put my two bob's worth in and have a say. Six months we spent on our trip and I am happy to re...

So caravan parks think they have won the battle to more or less eliminate free camping in tassie, then they are sadly mistaken as they will lose the war. I call for a boycott of Tasmanian caravan parks. If a boycott means that caravan parks go out of business, well so be it. They are the ones who have bought...
