Clarence Valley Councils ruling on camping at Diggers Camp. See attachment. Cr Karen Toms is a part owner of a caravan park at Iluka. Just another kick in the arse for low cost camping.

In the current Australian climate of over inflated house prices it may be of interest to check out prices in this area of the US. Surprisingly its still possible to buy something reasonable for under $500,000. I'm convinced the housing market in Australia is in for a major shakeup within the next few y...

G'day everyone, Have just come across a site that has a mini solar hot water system for vans and RV's - does anyone have this kind of system? I ask because the price of LPG is getting exxy, and I have the little 4.5 kg bottles that cost as much as 9 kg bottles. I'm also considering getting someone to make the...

Hi, I am just doing some research regarding Avan Cruiseliner or Bush Pack Aliner Campers and the do's & don'ts when considering them as an towing option. All I know about them is that they are lightweight( 650kg) and easy to put up and tow. However some say they are not meant for 'off road' drivin...

A woman stopped by, unannounced, at her son's house. She knocked on the door then immediately walked in. She was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on the couch, totally naked. Soft music was playing, and the aroma of perfume filled the room. 'What are you doing?' she asked. 'I'm waiting fo...
