re: when is too old?
(Preview)
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...

What is "too much food"?
(Preview)
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...

Lightning Ridge to Clermont
(Preview)
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...

Move/stay - what do you do?
(Preview)
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...

First Venture in the RV
(Preview)
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...
