Just discovered that liquorice allsorts and coffee are made for each other - yum. (while playing stickman) Cheers, John.

I am co-ordinating the BlazeAid camp at Cassilis (NSW) following the recent, very devastating Sir Ivan fire. It is estimated that somewhere between 5,000 and 7,000 klms of fencing has been destroyed with a replacement value in excess of $20M. While we have had some magnificent donations of fenc...

we have just installed a dual battery system using an Redarc BCDC and Optima Yellowtop battery. Simple set up but I don't know if we should keep using the battery when we aren't travelling ie in the city. Should we leave the fridge in the vehicle. This has been suggested to us as the thing to do but I'm unsu...

A dad took his little girl to the barbers. While he sat in the chair having his hair cut, the little girl stood close to him, nibbling on a cake. The barber smiled at her and said, "You're going to get hair on your muffin." She replied, "I know. I'm going to get tits too."

Hi again. thanks for the interesting replies, so true. What are your thought on buying an ex rental camper van. They say they are well maintained, but they have high mileage, and been driven by some drivers who are not good drivers. I am tempted, but do have some reservations.

Hey there everyone :) Well the wife and I went out and checked out some of the local caravan dealers and were very taken with the Avida Topas caravan. They were offering an attractive offer with Isuzu for the van and a D-Max so I was just wondering if anyone had some feed back on either? Thanks :)

I'm concerned for good reason. Its a bit of a hobby of mine to keep abreast of the US military. The world court has rejected China's claim on the "valuable" islands in the South China Sea. But they took over the ilands anyhow as they has supet size oil and gas fields under them. The USA navy has sent a mo...

How many people have a "Favourite Camp Spot" out there , that they hope never makes it onto Wiki Camps , because they know it would probably go if too many people used it. I Do. I'm sure we all do. ????
