Anyone have experience getting across to the Hume, ie through Nerriga, Braidwood, Canberra or would it be better to go up to Goulburn? I have been on the Kings Hwy from...

Ideally, we would like to travel without impacting too much upon our savings, and without dipping into our Super too early (I'm currently mid-fifties). It doesn't matter how many times I sit down to w...

Hi all. I have been told by a few Nomads that if there are no signs on free camp spots regarding grey water that it is okay to discharge on trees etc. As long as you don't mess up areas where vans etc will park. Any thoughts to the negative ?
