Vanning life so much better.
(Preview)
In regard to bush camping, over the last18 months, I have been getting my vehicle and van up to scratch so it all does what I want, properly. It has been the cause for a lot of head scratching, research, frustration, and cost as well. At the end of the day, for me, I am convinced that by taking no shortcuts I...

Talking of activated charcoal....

Talking of activated charcoal.... My studies into filtering water led me to activated charcoal which is an amazing substance in that it binds with many toxins and can help (cure!?) gut based poisoning issues. I am planning to add some to my first aid kit in case of food poisoning but it's hard to find in...

Couple of questions about Kakadu

I know a lot of people say kakadont but I'm looking forward to it and will find out for myself. I know it's expensive and we will also go to Litchfield but what I was wondering is: On the gps is says only maybe 2 1/2 hours from Pine Creek to Jabiru. And it says it's a sealed road. I know it will probably take bit...
