On these long cold chilly nights it would be nice to be able to turn the TV on, if only for a bit of company. Unfortunately there aren't many free camp sites where a TV signal is availabl...

Inner City stays.
(Preview)
Not sure how many people would be interested in this. I personally don't mind checking out inner cities, places like Darlinghurst in Sydney or The Valley up in Brisbane. People from other regions may well be interested in the area I live, which is in Melbournes Inner North, with all it's cheap real...

Another option question - Toilets
(Preview)
I think they'll be a few more of these "option" questions before I'm done. Snowy River offer the option of a ceramic toilet over the standard plastic (I think) one. Although the ceramic will be heaver it will, I suspect, be easier to keep clean especially over the longer term. When used and cleaned dail...

Mt Isa CPs targeted by thieves

A heads-up for anyone planning to stay at a CP in Mt Isa. Thieves are targeting them and I was a victim over the weekend after I was away from the bus for 45 minutes. Surprisingly, and very thankfully, the only things taken were my el-cheapo pre-paid phone I had just as a backup and an old iPhone 4 with an app...

Due to the crowding by travellers at unsuitable (for campi...

Widest cargo or passenger van in Australia for conversion
(Preview)
I'm sure someone has already scoped this out before. Are there any vans (not caravan) which will fit a full size bed widthways rather than lengthways? On Redbook the Transit seem to be the widest but the measurement includes the mirrors. Internally, they weren't as wide as I was hoping.
