Took off a couple of inches of caked on mud in places. Looks like new. Will make a start on the insides tomorrow. After that, will relax and contemplate what dir...

Its p-ssing down outside, and I am wondering if anyone catches this water. We have come by the gutter brackets for the awning, but its a pain to set up, and I am loath to have the awning up during rough weather. However the van roof has quite a catchment area, and it tends to flow down at just two points, it co...

Gday all, Just a heads up for anyone driving in the Shark Bay Area. Diesel fuel yesterday (wed) in Denham was 8 cents per litre cheaper than at the Overland roadhouse out on the highway so if going into Denham or Monkey Mia it may be worth waiting till you get into town.

If you are not sure whether or not you want to visit the Kimberley, have a look at the ABC's "Mystery Road". I saw it on Iview. It's filmed in the Kimberley and in my opinion the Kimberley is the star of the show and not the human actors or the camera operator/s. Human stars include Aaron Pederson, Judy Davi...

Gday... It is so unfortunate that reality is that one must actually purchase a van and vehicle BEFORE you can GENUINELY and ABSOLUTELY determine one is able to travel within the legal stated weights of vehicle and van.

I have read that there are composting toilets (still need to be emptied every 4-6 weeks) and ones that use fire to burn off the waste. Just wondering if anybody has retrofitted either of these units to their van or RV and 1. was it difficult to do? 2. Is it worth the cost? and 3. Any pitfalls (ha ha) or proble...
