Well done commercial - enjoy I, certainly didn't expect the outcome. Well done. This is, without any doubt, the BEST commercial I've seen lately! I was totally unprepared for the end!https://www.facebook.com/star1045/videos/10152871613882066/ The more time you spend in Nature t...

Go the All Blacks. If we do have a win tomorrow morning, Dougwe will have to bow down to me when we meet up at Greens in a weeks time. I shouldn't have too much dirt on my boots for you Doug.

Can anybody recommend a good stamp catalogue website that is up to date? I am mainly interested in Aust pre-decimal. I have done a bit of Googling but they all want to sell me something and, I just want information. I have been into the cupboards and found a heap of stuff I had forgotten about and want to ar...

Just an independent thought on free camping. Everyone with strong thoughts on free camping, put yourselves in the positon of a caravan park owner, they employ people, and, just maybe, a family member of maybe you or another family. I would suggest that those complaining the most are maybe those who...

Well, after much soul searching (and some tears), we decided it was finally time to update the trusty old van. We finally went for one of those fancy European models. I'm sure you will all agree she is really something! (see avatar) I have attached a pix of old faithful (see below) -- Edited by Stratman7...

Am looking to install a hot water tap in my van. Got info on the Alpha HWS tap which heats from a coil in the tap unit. Sells for about $250- $320. Other options as gas and electric systems pose other issues in my van but willing to hear back from any experiences that you may have had. Hagar45

Hi all, I have to tell this story about the Planet Earth Adventures caravan park in Mount Surprise Qld. We have stayed here a couple of times and loved the lay back attitude of Russell, the owner and Snake Man. A couple of weeks ago I got the dreaded message that my Mum was very ill and not likely to make it. ...

We stayed about a week at this park and can really recommend it. The sites were big with a hedge of bamboo/palm trees around which gave each site extra privacy, right on the river where we could go kayaking and fishing. The camp kitchen was modern with lots of seating where Richard operated a litt...

We just cant seem to drive past one always about mid morning!! We have breakfast early but by 11am if we spot one the bus just changes direction & every town no matter how small seems to have one. Haven't struck a crook one yet !! Although you do meet some characters in these places as we did today with J...

With all of the discussion on free camping recently there is an aspect that has been ignored. Free camping in the outback, that is, well away (at least 20km) from towns and built up area's. Free camping within town/city limits, we see a constant stream of tips/hints on how to outwit the powers that be, i...

Last week we stayed at the lovely campground near the mouth of the Fitzroy River on Victoria's South-West coast. Last year when we were there it was spick & span but it has now become a disaster area with overflowing rubbish bins, unmowed grass & unclean toilets. A large sign has been erected o...

Last year a mate an I bought 2 new vans from Coromal 6.35mts.@ $60k. each and must say they have gone backwards as far as quality goes,having previously had a 2006 model that was trouble-free. Why would they instal a useless Dometic B3000 A/C in place of an Air Command Ibis (have already replaced once an...

Some of you may be interested in this Traveller's Health Survey conducted by Wollongong Uni https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/AusTravellers I figure that anything that may help get services out to where we travel to must be a good thing.

Two nuns are ordered to paint a room in the convent, with a warning from the Mother Superior not to get even a drop of paint on their habits, which are costly to replace. After conferring about this, the two nuns decide to lock the door of the room, strip off their habits, and paint naked.In the middle of t...
