Yep, I am all packed and hooked up ready to hit the highways and byways heading north to Townsville. I will be taking a risk on the humidity but I need to be there by 3 or 4/4/14 for reasons I hope to get sorted once there. I won't have much time to smell the roses on the way up but that's fine. I will be stoppin...

Morning all. We are looking for a good house sit site due to problems experienced with the one we had set up for the end of May in Townsville. Looking for some time off the road and out of winter preferably but not totally essential. I have used Gumtree advertising myself and have had a couple of replies. W...

Have finally left Wuruma Dam & the great company we enjoyed there to continue our journey. Spent last night at Baralaba free camp (north west of Biloela, Qld). One of the better camps we've been in over the past 12 months, flush toilets, enclosed cold shower, good water & right beside the Ne...

As my short time on the road is showing me, I think I am going to have to have a tow vehicle. I love my MH, and have no desire to go with a caravan, so a tow car is the way to go. My question is what is best and some experiences please. A frame, or trailer? I guess there are fors and against for both, and I guess the mo...

Hello all - this may have been meant to go in I Digress. My question is how do any of you that aren't from the big cities handle the driving into these places. I am not a city driver and I get a bit worried about this. Should I just stay away perhaps and stick to the smaller towns - not sure. ...

The dry spell has ended for most parts of Perth, North Side seems to be the place to be for water, We, on the South Side, received a very light sprinkle, and one really good clap of thunder this morning, but it's all blown away again, back to sunny skies and into the 30s again. http://au.news.yahoo.com/...

Went looking in a caravan sales yard this morning and noted what the rego sticker ATM's said. I was amazed that most of the vans we inspected (17-18ft) had stated ATM's only 2 or 3 hundred KG above the ATM of my 12 foot Avan Cruiser (1160kg) One in particular - an Avan Madison 2 18ft dual axle had an ATM of 108...
