Hi We plan on doing a 6 week trip Melbourne to Darwin June/July next year. We were hoping to go do a circular trip through the centre of Australia in only one direction. Suggested routes and or itinerary as well as must see places would be helpful with our planning. Thanks in advance.

This may sound like a silly question but to us it's a really big decision and lots of thoughts and planning needs to be done. My husband who's 60 has just had major cancer surgery & fingers crossed will be OK. I'm 62. What it has done is make us realise life is too short and we need to enjoy what's left of...

Hi all, A simple question. Why do servos display fuel prices as for example 123.9, why not 124?? Another establishment displays the price as 123.7. Just wondering if anyone could enlighten this poor simple soul!! ??? Cheers

We have just purchased our 'new' caravan and would like to have the option of cooking outside as there is a gas point and a power point available. Any suggestions of what BBQ/cooker to buy and do you set it up on a table or on its own stand?
