Stuck in Tasmania
(Preview)
Tasmania has now been classed as 'Extreme Risk' by WA Gov, so not much chance of me getting back any time soon. Oh, well, there are certainly worse places to be stuck with my small rig, my dog and my kayak. However, I would welcome any suggestions on places to stay (with a dog and preferably near water for p...

NRMA Changes
(Preview)
Recently renewed our membership. As part of general membership they are restricting towing of vans and trailers to less then 2000kg. Now costs extra per month to cover towing of any car and trailer combo over 3500kg. Not happy but like most insurance you don't like it until you need it. Glenn

Isolation whilst on the road
(Preview)
I am curious if anyone on here has had to isolate whilst on the road. Where did you go/stay and how did you get on? I know some have the set ups to go bush for a while, but not all can do that or you're not in the right location. So tell us your hints, tips, ideas and practical solutions. Thanks.
