We are enjoying a very nice camp site called "Plantation Campsite" about 8-10km north of Halls Gap. It is free. Sensational view of part of the Grampians Range soaring to the west, plenty of spaces for vans, camper vans, campers and tents, long drop toilets and a bucket shower. There is r...

ABC Darwin 105.7 use this as an indicator of whether were in the "dry season" yet in the top end. It measures the amount of "Grey Nomads" that are camped up at the Robbie Robins reserve & is apparently far more accurate than the BOM's measurements. Went past today & it's...

Cremated Husband Martha recently lost her husband. She had him cremated and brought his ashes home. Picking up the urn that he was in, she poured him out on the patio table. Then, while tracing her fingers in the ashes, she started talking to him.... You know that dishwasher you promised me, but ne...

The WA quarantine website states that home dried fruit and vegetables will be allowed in if inspectors are satisfied they are sufficiently dried and free of pests. Wondering what people's experience is? Claire

This part of our trip is not so exciting but we stayed at different places. We started from Boronia in Vic travelled up through Yea, Seymour,Wangaratta and stayed o/nite at Urana.( Great Park ) We then travelled up to the Newell Highway, noticed the difference in road condition, wended our way to o/ni...

Big decision. Going to Thargomindah, Eromanga, Quilpie, Windorah Jundah, Longreach. Any suggestions/warnings..... and anyone else going that way? Leaving St George today. Not in a hurry - 2 weeks at least to do it.

OK I did a search and nothing really came up. I read on some post on the net that these vents really let the heat through. Can anyone give me feed back on their windows and vents pluses and minuses. For instance is bigger better or should one stay small? so feed back on size, heat, blinds & flyscreens. -...

Busy travelling with my furball Ralphie, two bigger dogs & hubby. We've been full time travellers (although only inherited Ralphie from my son a few months ago) for the last two years. Couldn't see the sense in having homes we had no desire to ever live in again so sold up & hit the road. With chi...

I have a problem opening the rear door of my tow vehicle due to the handle height of the hitch. I asked a caravan service place what can be done and was told about hitch-Ezy. I have found them on the web and they look impressive but then so is the price. Before I shell out a substantial amount I wondered if any...

We recently stayed one night Fitzroy River Lodge Caravan Park. A Beautiful park and surrounding but for the first time in 10 weeks on the road we had our bicycles stolen from under our annexe. We were not the only campers targetted as plastic containers were strewn all over the park roads from other...

Repairing a broken latching lever on a Navman My Escape style mounting fixture. I had my Navman mount break when I went to attach the GPS unit the other day. On the front of the mount is a latching lever that grips the GPS unit and holds it in place. Well it wasn't working and wouldn't latch onto the GPS prop...

3 years in the old Jayco. Now in a 2011 Ranger Panorama with lots of 'modcons'. 19' but feels the sameexternal size as the Expanda.

Happy Mothers Day to all you Mothers out there. Aussie Paul.

As I write this I am sitting at home grounded for a few weeks, why because I have just had some significant and expensive eye surgery to solve a problem that I could have picked up before it was a problem. A few weeks ago I experienced occasional little slashes in my vision in one eye, often followed by litt...

My partner is a puppeteer & performer and...
