(Preview)
Hi everyone and a merry Christmas to you all i hope this doesnt come across as political, but it now appears that the caravan parks are lobbying their respective councils, with success, to close down the free camping areas, forcing the caravaners to stay at the parks at ridiculous prices.

(Preview)

Whilst I like to carry a saw with me when leaving the van at home and doing more remote type travels, I wasn't sure if this would appeal to as many on here.

Street art that's really worth hitting the road for.....
(Preview)
From laneways drenched in graffiti to an ever-expanding silo trail breathing life into country towns, Australia has an eclectic mix of street art bound to compel even the firmest non-believers in the power of paint.

Coming up the Birdseye highway from Elliston SA, two large Stags ran across the road in front of us, gracefully leaping over the fence. They were as big as small steers complete with antlers. Red deer most likely.
