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've spent some time reading through a lot of posts, from when the thread was first started until this year and it appears that a lot of people have dropped out. There appeared to be a real warmth and interaction in the early days - along with a bit of biffo as always happens - but now days few people seem to...

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.

Where are all the Solos hiding? That's a question I was asking myself the whole time I was away. Just got back from 2mths travelling through Vic & southern NSW, over 4,000kms, a mixture of free camping & C/Pks & sad to say I never met one other solo traveller. I did meet a couple of single l...

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.

Hi All, Does anybody out there know if overnight stops are still permitted at this site? Had heard rumours that because of people abusing the privilege, overnighters were no longer allowed. Cheers Hurls Sorry posted to wrong area -- Edited by Hurls on Monday 27th of August 2018 03:24:38 PM

I've been building up to selling everything and going solo nomad for a year or more but now it's becoming all too real. Trying to divest myself of the possessions of a life time is very hard and incurs much emotion. What if I change my mind? Should I put stuff into storage? Which stuff? What about the famil...
