We currently own a Supreme 2060 and our Tow vehicle is a Disco 3. We are thinking about changing our rig to a Iveco with a slide on so that we may tow the boat and have the convenience of dropping of the slide on and have a vehicle to launch the boat. I was wondering does any body have this type of rig, if you do ,...

G'day. I've just travelled from Adelaide-Darwin-Adelaide and had a great trip. The only jarring note was the Rest Stop just north of Pt Augusta. Don't go there...the drop toilets are full and putrid. Plus there's no water. Who should this be reported to? Council? Health Dept? Who is responsi...

JerryandCynthia.com (no www needed) A married couple in their 50's living full time in a 24' motor home on $1,450 per month. Interesting collection of articles and videos. Mandatory bit of religion! Their meal plans are typical American though. Lots of fat etc.

Gday... I listened to an interview this afternoon on ABC Local QLD radio with Jim (? - I missed his surname) QLD President (I think) of the CMCA who are having their Rally at Boonah at the moment.

Thinking of calling in to Maldon for a spot of family history and cemetery hunting. However, there seems not any/many places to stay. Badgers gives the only CP a thumbs down. Any suggestions? Rosie

Thanks to Jim (Just Cruising) and Leonie for the hospitality the other night - had a great night with you two and Lorraine and Brandt (Kiwi-as) - we are now in Yass for the night in a CP. Expecting a cold one tonight - been snowing all around Goulbourn - very pretty, but very cold overnight I would think.
