In 196...

We don't usually travel at Easter time (nor school holidays) but this year we are. Since being in Vic we realised pretty quickly that waterways, lakes etc are NOT the places to be for Easter. Any suggestions for a quiet spot - not too dear - for the Easter break?

Can someone tell me why you can buy a vehicle in one state but can't get a road worthy certificate for it in another. Surely the safety check list, when it is done is applicable nationwide

Hi All, after many weeks waiting for our 16' jayco journey our first caravaning experince arrived.

I went to the Perth caravan show last week. While having lunch amongst the stalls around the perimeter of the arena, and because this area is elevated, I could see over the roofs of the vans. Quite a few were distorted, with waves, hollows etc. In fact it was amazing that these people were selling a produ...
