I mentioned in another post that we have been offline for a little while and spent some time at Giralia Station in the Exmouth Gulf.

For many years we've been doing a 3 week trip to Far East Gippsland every Winter. The weather is reliably better than back in cold old Melbourne. Most days start out a bit chilly but end up fine, calm & sunny. Ideal weather to go fishing in our boat. As the day warms up we end up peeling layers of clothi...

I'm ordering a new JB Gator van and think that an air heater would be a nice idea to fit. JB tell us that gas is quieter than diesel, but we plan to spend time free camping and think that saving gas for cooking and HWS might be preferable and the tug is diesel.

Can anybody give me any feed back on how these fridges preform?

We have come by the gutter brackets for the awning, but its a pain to set up, and I am loath to have the awning up during rough weather. However the van roof has quite a catchment area, and it tends to flow down at just two points, it co...
