I had the great pleasure of meeting "Wanderers" Diane and Don early in the week and again last night at their camp for a lovely roast dinner in great company. Diane and Don had a drama with their rig a while back but have got back on the bike, so to speak and have got a great set up now, plenty of tho...

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)

With the upsurge in the use of free/low cost camping, many councils and other authorities are now starting to demand that only RVs that are fully self contained may use their sites. I realise this topic has been somewhat covered in Techies Corner, however the ideas suggested were of little help in ou...

Yuu're right Oma well done. Here's a pic of the whole shed. 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...

For many years I have used an android smart phone, and been wary of Apple products because I did not like the way you were locked in by Apple. For some years Carol has used an iPhone, and now also has an iPod, and an iPad she is what you would call well hooked.At work I am responsible for a fleet of about 120 sm...

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,...

One for toilet and one for shower and wash basin.Now the outlets are fairly low to the ground maybe 500mm and the one in our town is built up so high that even after driving up on blocks the water stil...

Hi On Monday we decided to go to Kroombit Tops National Park to see the site of this plane wreck. It is a long slow drive from Monto of about 110 Kim's taking about three hours to get there. The roads are badly sign posted. Once there it is quite amazing to think that it took 49 years to find it. The story behi...

We are about to go on a six week tour with our van. I thought we might stay at some show grounds on the way but my husband says he read somewhere that you can only stay there if you are in a group and are actually involved with the show. Can anyone tell me?
