Anyone passing through Adelaide River should stop off at Mt Bundy Station as hosts Scott & Sue will make your stay a very wonderful and relaxing time. You will get to meet the animals and during the tourist season they put on a BBQ night with entertainment. The rates are a lot cheaper than c/van pa...

Anybody on forum use Google/latitude? It seems to be a good way to keep a track of friends who are travelling, however there does not appear to be any real instructions. If anybody uses it I would appreciate any help in setting it up on my mobile and laptop. Pedro

Hi guys and gals, just a quick heads up, the lions club is still trying to organise a free camp in Barmera S.A.
