New road access fee for private travellers to visit the Mitchell Plateau for 2018 is $20 Per Person rising to $45 PP in 2019 That is a 5 day permit. Plus National Park fees. Tour companies will probably have a bulk deal and include fees in their tour costs. Enjoy MJP.

We cannot afford a new caravan and I expect our budget will be around $30,000 when we buy. I expect the van will need t...

Hi all, I'm looking at moving into either a Patrol or a Pathfinder (diesel) to pull our van with an ATM of 2100kg. Can't stretch to new at this stage, so I'll be after a fairly late model used.

Trying to figure out away to hang Christmas tree LED lights around the van, The van is fiberglass composite sheeting. Tried the stick on hooks (tape), wont stick, polish must be ingrained in the glass, suction cups just slide down the walls. Maybe I have to Sika-flex some hooks in place. Any ideas ?
