Sunrise at Carey Bay, Lake Macquarie, NSW

I love outback sunrises & sunsets...amazing colours.

Great to be back in the Top End,, great weather etc BUT the thing that impressed me most is many road works they just block the lane off and you go past at 70 or 60km,, some are 40km where one lane controlled today. No need for 60/40/25km for a km or so either side of the work. Congrats NT for "common sen...

We we are now down to a few hours before kick off in the third and final game of this years series. My tip ... is Queensland by 8 points or even another field goal could be enough for the mighty Maroons to leave the fields with a victory. But as I have stated on other ocassions. as long as your teams give 100% c...

Just read this on Facebook. Might interest someone on here. CAMP HOST REQUIRED - MONTO One of the great things about travelling around this country is the opportunity to put the roots down for a while and have a break off the road. Sometimes this comes in the form of a paid job or as a volunteer position ei...

Hi all, Can one operate the heater on the go, an hour or so before the nights stop. So the van is warm to step into on arrival on these cold afternoons. Its been so cold today, I was just thinking maybe or not. I see that they use them in trucks as well, so I thought the same for the van. We are planning ahead. Reg...

Hello All I have had a quick search but can't find a thread on the yearly costs or budget for full time nomads. I know this will vary greatly depending on the vehicles-rigs- expectations, but just after a general idea. Assuming the vehicle and van are all owned, and we are looking at all other costs. Allo...

Hi all, I know when looking in the site there is a classified section which advertises house sitters wanted, but once I log in I can't find the classified section. I'll post here and hopefully someone can guide me to the classified site once logged in. Because of work commitments our trip has only just...

I have a Tiny Gentrax generator that I will use as a back up when it rains and/or the portable solar panels are unable to charge my deep cycle battery. The earth lead is NOT provided so I need help in interpreting what is required please. The manual states the lead must be of sufficient current capaci...

Hi all, I know that's probably sounding dumb, but I've been away from the trade for an age, so forgive me. Im looking for an alarm that will sound when the battery voltage reaches a preset voltage. If anyone has any clue, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone leave their gas on when travelling? I have a 3-way fridge that I can set to automatic selector. Takes 240V, then 12V from vehicle, then gas. The 12V on-board battery only powers the device that makes the selection. It doesn't power the fridge cooling mechanism. When travelling the fridge...
