Took so long to do but turned out ok.

We're heading to Rawnsley Park station and the most direct route from where we are is through Pichi Richi Pass. However, there appear to be a number of low bridges and we're a little concerned since our van is a little over 3 metres high and we don't want to be stuck since reversing is not our forte and ther...

Hi everyone, The boss and I are not entirely new to vanning with our first experience being a family campervan a decade or so back. At the ripe old age of 52 we have decided to regain our love of travel and camping and purchased a 2000 Jayco Westport. Working in the emergency services, I often see peop...

Need to replace 12 volt element in my Dometic Rm 2350 3 way. Label on fridge states 150w element and although there are 125w and 175w elements available I am unsure as to what I should purchase. Both new elements state that they are for the RM 2350???

Currently in Sapphire and would like to go via Rubyvale, Capella, Dysart, 'Cosmos' I think it is a property on the Fitzroy Dev. Road and then north to Mindi on the Peak Downs Highway and then into Mackay. I would like to know if all of the roads are sealed.

Gday folks. Kim and I have travelled from Maitland NSW up the coast as far as Emerald and are making our way towards Katherine before the wet season. We are really over the crowded caravan parks and have only stopped at 1 free camp site and it was worse (Dawson river). It would be awesome to know about rela...

And there are those who say it is not worth the drive as there is nothing to do or see......... This is a copy of what I have written on my blog.........I have posted here rather than the solo section as a member asked about travelling North from Perth. AND ANOTHER STUNNING DAY. After many goodbyes, h...

In a town in western Qld a young fellow went to see his great grand Ma who was on her last, and her memory of recent events was no the best. The great grand son said to her that she must be bed ridden from laying in bed for a long time, The old girl replied, sonny I have been bed ridden hundreds of times and tw...

MEMORIES from a friend: My Dad is cleaning out my grandmother's house and hebrought me an old lemonade bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I kne...

Phew! We made it. What did we make I hear you ask? Well, we made the climb up the hill of 2015 is what. The year is well and truly half gone now and we have started the journey down hill and at the bottom will be 2016 and I tell you that for free. TRUE. It's also time for my monthly update so as usual, a u-tur...

Hello all crafters out there' just wondering if any of you sell your craft to other caravaners while in caravan parks, is there any RULES TO FOLLOW? Hope to hear from someone. Regards Helen

Why are we accepting the weekly violence in the major sporting codes? It seems the Clubs and the governing bodies of each code talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. We say these violence puts out the wrong image to children, but I think it tells the "adults" who are game fanatics that violen...

Wondering would I be foolish to purchase a 1976 Toyota Coaster. According to the blurb: This fully refurbished Motorhome is ideal for a couple or a single person looking to travel around Australia. It is at such a low price and must sell ASAP. We bought it 18 months ago, striped the whole bus to the she...

Just been looking at that funny little cartoon from RockyLizard, so what do others do when they can't sleep and are wide awake in the very early hours of the morning? I often find it a great time to cook, keep reading the story that I found hard to put down last night, writing lists of what's on my mind, re...

Hi all, Let me preface my question but letting you know that I am " the son of Frank Spencer " and that anything that can go wrong will go wrong and anything that can break will break if I'm repairing it. We have recently purchased a 2000 Jayco Westport with all the good things in it like a full en...
