Quite some time ago these were being made (under licence from the US I think) or assembled and sold by Kimberley Campers at Ballina, NSW. There are a number of these earlier models around in Oz. I have noticed a few late models for sale recently (see this ad) and I was wondering if they had a new supplier/...

The locals up this way are never in a hurry...a good way to be I guess but when you have paying costumers to cross the Jardine River on the ferry at $145 for about a 3 minute trip and 15 vehicles lined up to be loaded on when the time says 8am until 5pm one would think that times does matter, the 'local' arrived...

I haven't had a look at it yet so am just going on his verbal descriptions of the issue. I see lots of newish Utes pulling vans and wonder h...

I was hoping that there may be a easy way to find a list of State by State Show Ground Camping sites. Now I know that if one did exist, that it would be a variable list as there would be changes due to the Caravan Park owners bitching re low cost camping. But any clue would be great. Perhaps there is a thread on...
