During the last week someone mentioned that they have a "truckers book" of some sort for rest stops. I have not been able to find it by searching as I can't remember any details of "key words". Anyone help please? Aussie Paul.

An artical on the front page of the Bowen Independant wants to grab the nomads bucks by offering cheap camping despite objections from the C/P onwers, it's states that with all the nomads passing through they are missing out on this cash register. I will try and get a copy tomoz and post a link.
