(not that that was a bad move) As we intend to be heading that way shortly, would anyone have a...

What a sad day, knowing the great, the one and only Richie Benaud has passed away today. Summer just won't be the same without Richie's thoughtful commentary. May he rest in peace.

Just a general question. Are there plenty of either caravan parks or free stays with lots of travelers staying overnight in this stretch and would you need to carry extra fuel or are the servos close enough not to have to worry about it. We don't like to travel for too long in a day.

Corryong is a town of about 1500 people but during the festi...

Hi all, I think I should reword my last post. What I should have asked was "are there any grey nomads who are travelling full time on a DSP Pension"

You camp right on the river or further back if you desire with plenty of room. Lots of firewood within walking distance, skip bins at the entrance and a free camper friendly...

We are considering a 3L turbo Jackeroo, 2.8L Pajero and 2.8L Nissan Patrol. We would like any and all feedback to help us decide on the best vehicle...
