Travelled out of Melbourne northbound today on Hume Fwy and noticed that the VicRoads weighbridge at Broadford is now a 24 hour self weigh when VicRoads are not using.

I would be really interested to hear from anyone going through or camping at Glendambo. I am wondering if Neville is still working at the Hotel/ Caravan park.

First we went to Oakey and had a look through the Army Aviation Museum, then took a back road (bitumen) to Goombungee and drove the main street and had a look at the showgrounds. There were a few camping there. Then across to Cro...

Just putting this out there for Cindy to consider and comments from the forum. So many people have blogs or web pages for their travels. Do you think a permanent thread for people who wish to share would be a good idea.

I have just noticed that the Greens Lake section is no longer showing in the Forum? Did I miss something? Has this been removed for some reason?

I have just spent the last four months driving through a number of countries in Europe, and was amazed by the number of vans on the roads and not one of them over 16 foot. When in Austria I saw a large caravan park with plenty of vans so I stopped and wandered in, where there was a group of people enjoying a hap...

Have just fitted a new roll out awning, replacing one which suffered badly from sun damage and disintegrated. Not wanting to have it happen again, I want to know how you protect your vinyl awnings.

We have bought a 1991 Coromal Lowline Poptop which has had the fridge replaced. The cabin and outside lights do not work on 12 volt but the fridge does. Where can I get a 12 volt wiring diagram to trace where the light wires come from. This was the only low poptop that would fit under our garage roof. Thanks...
