My wife and I plan to become GNs in the nest 12 months, so we have huge gaps in our knowledge and lots of questions. Can someone help with a couple of basics - what are the average fees at dumps points and what's the cost of fresh water? Thanks a lot.

We have moved on from Stanley and are now enjoying the wonderful hospitality of Mr and Mrs Florinhill at Yolla just outside Burnie. We have a beautiful view overlooking farmland all the way to the coast at Wynyard and if the cloud lifts we might even see the ocean. We will do a few day trips from our base he...

I've been through the previous threads on tyres, but now I want your help with clearing up the confusion. I was offered Khumo's for my L/Cruiser, but after reading the past reports, they're definitely off the agenda. Michelin's look favourable. I'm replacing the BFG A/T's. They've taken me aroun...

I was going to hire a trailer or a one way trailer from SA to Cairns. After working out fuel costs etc we decided to get a quo...

As we happened to be passing a Paramount caravan yard yesterday on our way home we stopped to have a look, more couriosity than anything else as we had not looked at them before.

Any thoughts on whether this add on to your caravan TV for HD Digital sets works.....cheap enough, but is it a waste of money & if so, what alternatives are available.

Cindy's story of a death at Dales Gorge with a little boy still in hospital, reminded me of all the signs and warnings at the gorges in that park. The climb down into Dales was steep and care was needed, though there was a good path and hand rails. Perhaps they went down the other end which is rated as more d...
