Being on my first big trip I would be interested to hear how most people 'afford' their long stays on the road when it comes to sites. Most free sites are only for 24-48hrs and then you have to move on which is inconvenient. The other option is caravan Parks at $28 ish and up. These appear the only two option...

Hi everybody, I tried to find some advice about this on the "search" system but failed. The kitchen sink is emptying more slowly, and I'm starting to wonder if "something" might be stuck down there. I've always been careful to wipe anything fatty off with paper towel before w...

Beachmere van park is just out of Caboolture and on Deception Bay. We need to stay near Caboolture very soon for a couple of weeks and wonder if anyone has heard or had any experience of this park. It is run by the Lions Club evidently. Thanks in anticipation. Elaine (Ma)

Folk planning to visit the Dig Tree should be aware that you might spend an hour or two in this "information Booth" before getting to the tree. I think entry is by $11 per car in an envelope at the gate. Fried Rice -- Edited by Fried Rice...

Hi all, thought I'd share with you a modification to our pop-top caravan. We love the feel of a pop-top with the windows in the pop zipped down to allow the outside in, a cooling breeze in summer, the view of the tree tops - but, to let the light in when you're away in colder weather, as we are at the moment,...
