Putting Your Feet Up ?
(Preview)
Just read the story about 'putting your feet up' in the front section of the forum.

Roma owners
(Preview)
I have been asked by Roma Caravans to sound out owners of Roma caravans to see if there is enough interest in setting up a Roma owners caravan club. This could be a stand alone club, or may be an owners group within the Australian Caravan Club (Subject to their Rules). That decision would have to be made by...

Would just like to confirm. Is it legal to bury the loo contents in State Forest. And what about National park? Obviously at least 30 or 40 meters from lakes and water courses such as creeks.
