I've just spent the last 4 days down at the free camp at Texas on the Dumaresq river with 8 or 9 of the grandkids and what a great place. You camp right on the river or further back if you desire with plenty of room. Lots of firewood within walking distance, skip bins at the entrance and a free camper friendly...

This is a double bunger reccomendation for two businesses. If you're travelling up through Wongan Hills on your way to another adventure, consider a stopover at this town .The cafe has a good selection of sit down meals, take aways and a variety of tempting sweet stuff. I had a dinner there last week,...

Hey Nomads, I'm heading to the South Coast of NSW around Easter and was looking at some camping recommendations. I've been using VisitNSW.com to find campgrounds, and was thinking of the following areas over a 10 day trip: 1. Jervis Bay 2. Kangaroo Valley 3. Ulladulla I'm also maybe thinking of go...

What food shopping can the town offer? Who delivers groceries to the town, and how often, at what cost? How much is Diesel in the town? Is it a sealed road to the town? Which is the best way to drive with a Caravan from Sunshine Coast? Thank you

The above rest area has been well used over the last few weeks. If it's wet, there is a great bitumen area which gets you away from the mud and overhead trees. But also shady area (smaller) if that's what you like.

This is not a recomendation but rather it was recomended to me. Just hoping to call in there the week after Easter for a few days on our way home from Kyneton. Can anyone give any advice, we'll be coming up from the south just above Hamilton, so the question is.... Which side of the Reservior is the Camp sit...

Hi all. Getting ready to hit the road. I have been going to the caravan shows and visiting heaps of caravan manufactures.

Have to recommend the Katherine Canvas and Upholstery in the Light Industrial Area off Crawford Street. They repair and make all sorts of canvas and vinyl things and were wonderfully prompt when i needed a shade for the side of my van. Price and timing was good. Three cheers for them.
