Webmaster · Webmaster

Are you a solo traveller or just thinking about setting off on the adventure of a lifetime on your own? Do you want to ask some questions of those who have gone before, or perhaps to offer some tips and advice. Are you looking for someone to share a leg of your journey with? Or do you just want to touch base wi...

Hi everyone, I've just recently returned from a trip which included Mt. Isa, Bourketown, Cape York and Weipa. Portions of the Cape York gravel roads are really shocking. In country Queensland asphalt roads only exist in the larger towns and cities, the rest of the sealed roads are chip sealed(2cm sc...

New to this site, but have been looking for too long without any action on my part! I have travelled around this great Country most of my life, but mainly roughing it. Because I have friends in Arnhem Land and want to visit there one last time. I have decided to invest in a 4x4 camper. The wet season will...

I saw a comment elsewhere about a newbie mistake of taking "too much food". As a newbie, this has been bugging me as I can't see it, particularly solo which means that I'm carrying (ballpark) 150kg less mass in tow vehicle/caravan than if there were two of us. For me, making a meal is part of my (new) lifes...

I think I stayed at Lightning Ridge a bit too long, and I'm getting really itchy feet. More so that it is getting increasingly wintery here. Temps close to zero before the sunrise, very cold nights, and days about 15 to 18 degrees max. Not to my liking. Someone else going that way by chance? Any good free c...

For various reasons I only managed to get out of Melbourne in late May, so basically I moved from cold to cold more than I stopped until I finally reached (warm) Queensland. Having now stopped for a while, it finally hit me that I don't really know what I'm doing. Am I traveling for the sake of it or am I basi...

Thought I would give the thumbs up to Morisset (NSW) Showground. My 1st venture was not too far but a reunion of work buddies on the Central Coast (NSW). I decided to stay just an hour away on the travel night so I would be bright eyed and bushy tailed for the 4 day weekend. Thinking I would stay well I don't k...

I recently spent a night at the Cunderdin Caravan Park in a Solo Donga room similar to a motel with airconditioning, fridge, TV, jug Microwave and Ensuite. All very clean and comfortable. These are near new with king size beds and shady verandah with chairs, table etc. Great new camp kitchen for u...

Hi everyone, I'm seeking 1st hand experience information for camping Aus with a Travelbug Escape Pod Emerald camper. I'm a solo camper and they look like they would fit my requirements very well, so any owners with good or bad comments will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Impressions of a new solo nomad 16th January 2019 About three weeks on the road and things have been close to but not exactly as I expected.

here ya go Dougie, As promised, I've had time to play with the ozito 'hybrid' inflator/deflator As you can see from the pic above, the compressor will run off the power xchange batteries that I have for the chainsaws and pruners etc. As a bonus though, it will also run off 240v from the power lead which is...

All set for first long trip solo and have done some research, but have had warnings about 'unsavoury' types scouring some parks and campsites. Albany was a particular mention.

I'm hitting the road tomorrow - a new and probably the final stage in my life. The Snowy River SR-19 caravan is almost packed and I'm organising my remaining possessions in boxes to store at my son's house. I'll spend the first few days near Pakenham (Victoria) in order to familiarise myself with the ca...
