Stabiliser legs
(Preview)

We always put them on an angle because; a) back in the 1980's our family caravan had wind down legs which slowly rotated to make an angle with the ground, and b) the dea...

Weather Station
(Preview)
I treated myself (and my son) to an early christmas present - a weather station Ebay $188. As I spend most of my life in the bush the weather is a constant area of interest to me. I've had a couple of weather stations previously but they have both lacked in some areas so we'll see how this one goes - I'll do a pr...

Latest podcast concerning Wrong Place Wrong Time
(closed)
(Preview)
What a frightening ordeal to have to go through! This is a fascinating podcast of a couple's ordeal with hoons at a campsite. You must listen to it! The only problem I have with the podcast is the quietness of the host compared to the loudness of the guest speakers.

OK we have been thinking of swapping to a caravan. Target Size approx 20ft with a weight no more than 2500 kg. More or less.

How's skyrocketing fuel prices going to affect your plans?
(

)
(Preview)
With prices for diesel now touching $1.65 and likely to go further, I think it will be time to think more in terms of holidaying closer to home, and/or contemplating a smaller rig. Even regular local usage of the tugs will erode holiday finances on a regular basis. In such a large country, it is especi...
